• Orange discovered that was pretty heavy demand for the iPhone yesterday, selling an estimated 30,000 units in 24 hours as it started selling the handset for the first time. Interesting numbers compared to the much-vaunted launch of the Motorola Droid in the US, where the figure was 100,000 units over the weekend (for a country five times the size of Britain).
• Seems the technology industry job cuts aren't over: Electronic Arts announced 1,500 layoffs, Adobe is cutting a further 680 jobs, while AOL is also slashing more positions.
• The latest episode of the Tech Weekly podcast is live, featuring an interview with highly-rated music startup SoundCloud and our Jack conducting the honours as we induct our first candidate into our Tech Weekly Hall of Fame. Susi Weaser's in the host's chair once again, with Charles Arthur and yours truly playing Waldorf and Statler. Listen here.
And with that, I'm off on holiday for a couple of weeks: I'll be leaving the breakfast briefing in the capable hands of Jack and Charles while I'm gone. See you soon!
