Jamster launches free dedicated UK iPhone content portal
Just in time for the UK launch of the iPhone (which, I reckon, is going to be an absolute shocker for every other mobile operator except O2), Jamster has launched a dedicated portal for iPhone users.
Interestingly, Jamster, the ringtone and content giant, are offering iPhone users free content to download to their device. I’ll need to check this out and see what they’re offering — I think there will be ridiculous demand from iPhone users for this sort of thing. The device itself is gorgeous — but give it 5 days and most users will want to spruce it up with all sorts of gizmos, sounds and wallpapers.
One of the sexiest things I’ve heard is that they’ve launched The Simpsons-On-Mobile (from the game through to ringtones, sounds and the like). Not sexy in the context of, say, Jessica Simpson, but sexy in the context of having Homer’s DOHHHHHH screaming at you every time you get a text message. That I need to definitely check out.
So it’s currently free at the moment — that is, anything you find on the Jamster portal via your iPhone is not charged — but expect that to change in future as tens of thousands of iPhones are sold each day. Have a look and get downloading!
What’s everyone’s sales predictions for iPhone before Dec 25th?
Posted by Barry O'Connell on November 8th, 2007 at 10:07 am.Is that “free” when you join the Jamster iphone club for just £4.50 a week? To unsubscribe text “stickyoursubscriptionupyourarse” or “STOP” to 84444
Posted by John on November 8th, 2007 at 10:26 am.I reckon you’ll see a lot of people standing outside the apple store handing out leaflets advertising their new iPhone compatible services (alright, not so much of a prediction since I already know some people who are planning to do this but there will be more, I’m sure).
I was thinking of heading down there with my laptop and offering to unlock handsets for free but the chances of them having a brand new firmware are high so it’s a no-go
Posted by Dan Lane on November 8th, 2007 at 1:02 pm.Why offer unlocking for free?
Set up a stall (like a hotdog seller or something) ‘iphone unlocked while-u-wait - £20′
I’ll help!
Posted by James Whatley on November 8th, 2007 at 2:01 pm.The Cloud did it for the iPod Touch launch (but then after handing over your nuts to O2 in exchange for an iPhone you’ll be given The Cloud for free so no need to knobble folks in the street.)

anyway, the new firmware won’t be immediately unlockable so it’s a non-starter
Posted by Dan Lane on November 8th, 2007 at 10:22 pm.Ok - you do it for free and then I’ll charge them £5 to tell them about Mippin.

Funny you should say that…
