If you don’t want to commit to a provider for 2 years with the iPhone and you happen to live in Britain, well this is your lucky day. Sort of.
Apple has announced the pricing of the new unlocked and SIM-free models, and as you can guess they’re not cheap. £499 for the 16GB version, £599 for 32GB - with the current conversion rates it’s around $730 for 16GB and $883 for 32GB.

It seems like the iPhone 4 killed Apple’s website. Since Apple started pre-orders on its new device earlier today, many people reported that the website was slow, unresponsive and that they had to click multiple times to confirms their choices and try to get the order through.
We didn’t see this coming, but this morning Apple has released the beautiful and powerful new Mac Mini. Starting at $699, the new Mac Mini features up to 2 times faster graphics, an all new sleek aluminum design, built in power supply, HDMI port, built in SD reader and many, many other stuff. Check out all the details and pictures after the break.
The iPhone is always the first to get new features; if succesful, they trickle on to other products. With the Retina Display being one of Apple’s newest features on the iPhone, we may see the beautiful display display come to the iPad. It would make sense considering that the iPad is great for reading text – Paul Miller from Engadget, however, often reminds us that the iPad’s low pixel density can be a problem for the most devout eBook Readers.
The guys behind the popular Spirit jailbreak for iPhone are working on a native Flash version for iPhone. No transcoding needed, no conversions, it runs as you can see in the preview video below.
A better Amazon S3 Engine. Support for ExpanDrive’s upcoming storage service, Strongspace. And a whole ton of performance upgrades. ExpanDrive has been updated to v2.1.0, and it’s pretty great.

I’ve heard some shady things before, but this takes the cake. Sure we have some iPhone developers porting games to Android, but that is by choice. When you’re approached by Microsoft, it reeks of desperation. Does Microsoft not have their own developer community that’s ready to jump at the chance to develop for Windows Phone 7? Apparently not.
Sheesh, can’t a guy ask for a little extra battery life around here?
Safari Reader is a really great addition to the latest version of Safari, and it does a pretty job of dimming the background so that you can have a focused reading experience. But sometimes, it’s just not enough – light or cluttered websites still peak through with the utmost disrespect to your eyes. Don’t let those naughty flash ads distract you from reading an Ars Technica epic: we’ve got the goods to get that helpful little background even darker.
