This was an interesting little titbit in the news today. In the UK a judge has ordered that Apple can never show a particular iPhone 3G ad again. The advertisement in question claims that, “you’ll never know which part of the internet you’ll need” and “all parts of the internet are on the iPhone”. Because the iPhone does not support Java or Flash, the judge ruled that the ad was misleading.
