Weekend Round-Up of Two Hot Mobile Platforms

One's out in the wild, the other's the subject of wild online speculation. As the iPhone is set for a UK release, network partner O2 has a warning:

"We do want to keep it clear that this is a consumer launch on a consumer tariff," Alder said. "Our advice is: if you're in business, it's probably best to check the policy within your company because it may not be possible to transfer your number from your business contract to the iPhone."

However, Alder said that if a business customer requested it, O2 would transfer the number. "There are people in business attracted by the iPhone," he added.

Valleywag also has some screenshots of what's apparently the first Android OS (Googlephone) app.

I wonder if Google's insistence on openness will gain more fans as the first few Android-powered phones are up for release?
