Paddy Power has slashed the odds on Apple recalling the iPhone 4 from 2/1 to 4/6.
The Irish bookmaker said in a statement it saw a "betting frenzy" in the 24 hours after it emerged that the influential product testing blog Consumer Reports was unable to recommend the smartphone due to the reception issues stemming from its antenna design.
That's not the only issue with the iPhone 4, The Inquirer has listed various issues as well as the antenna problem, including a faulty proximity sensor, a dodgy screen and what it refers to as movie software "so useless it makes you look like Michael Winner".
Do you think Apple will be so radical as to admit failure and recall its own hardware? Let us know by emailing newsdesk@totaltele.com, or leave a comment.
As seen on TV
At the recent World Telecoms Council meeting in June, we rolled out the camera crew from Total TeleVision. They spoke to a number of the participants, including Michael Rocha from our colleagues at Brand Finance - who helped us put together the Brand 500 for the launch issue of Total Telecom Plus.

Passion, Interest, and Scrap Yards
This weeks meeting of the World Telecoms Council brought together another strong group of participants from players including BT, Tata, Belgacom, Orange, UK Broadband, Tellabs and more.
Debate was always interesting and as this strip of images of Nicholas Topham (BroadGroup) leading a session, observed by Joe Kelly (BT Wholesale) illustrates - sometimes impassioned!
The debates across Emerging Markets on day 1 and Wholesale Telecom on days 2 demonstrated a wide range of opinion as well as giving the opportunity for some great video interviews (available shortly) from Total TeleVision and briefings from participants to gathered Total Telecom editors. The resulting stories can be read online...
And yes a tale of scrapyards was included by AA Telco who are running a scheme called SecondLife in Uganda.
