More European iPhone carrier rumors

MacNN spotted a website touting the iPhone on Vodafone and 02, adding fuel to the fire of exactly which European carrier–or carriers–will be offering the iPhone upon its release overseas.

Yet another Apple lawsuit

Apple sued over iPhone battery

We’d been holding off on this one, because we don’t want to encourage ridiculous lawsuits, but Ars Technica has a hilarious and witty (and hilariously witty) summary of the iPhone lawsuit.
