iPhone in UK: O2 rumours grow stronger

Rumours of O2 launching the iPhone in the UK are stronger today, with the Independent publishing an article titled "O2 looks to iPhone to maintain growth".

"O2 expects the launch of broadband and Apple's iPhone to maintain its momentum during the second half of the year, after it outperformed the market over the past three months.

O2 refused to confirm that it has won the right to sell Apple's music-oriented handset exclusively in the UK, despite evidence appearing in source code on Carphone Warehouse's website.

Peter Erskine, chief executive of O2, said: "We're excited about this product and we certainly hope to be marketing it later in the year when it launches."

That's it. Nothing definite. Nothing confirmed. Scouring web page source code for clues rarely produces anything worthwhile - the fact that the words "Apple", "iPhone" and "O2" appear on the same page doesn't mean that they're linked.

Still, it's giving the companies some more free publicity, whether or not they get their hands on the iPhone.
