Apple may launch its iPhone campaign in Europe with a 3G-capable iPhone with enhanced storage, according to what appears to be a leaked ad from T-Mobile Germany. The ad promises a version of the handset with support for 3G-level cellular Internet access using both the US-friendly HSDPA format and typically Europe-only UMTS, with theoretical download speeds reaching the format’s full 3.6Mbps. It also suggests that the device will carry 16GB of memory, representing the first storage upgrade to the device since its launch in June. Visual Voicemail and the 2-megapixel camera would remain the same as for the US version.
The launch of a 16GB version of the iPhone is eminently sensible. You can already buy the practically identical iPod touch with 16GB on board. It would also help boost the iPhone’s desirability in the UK where only the 8GB version is available.
ald another price cut for the 8GB iPhone, with the 16GB version taking its place as the high-end model.
Apple has already killed 4GB version of the iPhone that had previously been on sale in the United States.
The 2nd generation iPhone will be 3G-oriented, and that is obviously linked to GSM networks as well. Keep those fingers crossed that Jobs is feeling benevolent, and will distribute the 2nd generation iPhone to other networks like T-Mobile come January.

Mardi Gras (French for “Fat Tuesday”) is the day before Ash Wednesday, and is also called “Shrove Tuesday” or “Pancake Day”. Mardi Gras is the final day of Carnival, though the term is often used incorrectly to describe the days and weeks preceding Fat Tuesday. Carnival begins 12 days after Christmas, or Twelfth Night, on January 6 and ends on Mardi Gras, which always falls exactly 47 days before Easter. Perhaps the cities most famous for their Mardi Gras celebrations include New Orleans, Louisiana; Venice, Italy; and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Many other places have important Mardi Gras celebrations as well. Carnival is an important celebration in most of Europe, except in the United Kingdom where pancakes are the tradition, and also in many parts of Latin America and the Caribbean.

The tradition of Lundi Gras (in French, Fat Monday) began in New Orleans in 1874, 18 years after the beginning of modern Carnival celebrations in North America. In that year, Rex, The King of Carnival (also known as The Merry Monarch) chose to have a grand arrival in New Orleans from the Mississippi River. With the School of Design (now known as the Rex Organization) as his court, the King of Carnival made his entrance on the deck of an opulently-decorated paddlewheeler. Once on dry land, Rex and his royal court were placed in carriages and driven through the streets to City Hall. Therein, the mayor and various city officials would present The Merry Monarch with the keys to the city and proclaim the rule of Rex in this mystical and temporary realm of Carnival. Typically, the proclamation decreed the beginning of Mardi Gras and Rex’s reign at sunrise the following morning. Lundi Gras was a success, and quickly became a treasured part of the Carnival celebrations which was unique to New Orleans; no other country or parishes observed the Monday before Shrovetide. Lundi Gras continued as a thriving holiday until World War I stopped Carnival in New Orleans. When the parades again returned to the streets some two years later, the observance of Lundi Gras had fallen by the wayside, a seeming casualty of ‘the war to end all wars.’ Read the rest of this entry »
