"Black Milk" knocks me off my feet in this collection of moody and eclectic songs. Massive Attack uses samples and keyboards in a very unique way, but not all the songs pack the same punch.

Orcon May Get New Zealand iPhone Deal
Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007 at 4:00 PM - by Bryan Chaffin
Another international iPhone rumor has gained traction, with the New Zealand Herald reporting Wednesday (Thursday, in NZ time) that Orcon has been tipped to be the iPhone carrier in that country. New Zealand fans of the device have been waiting for an announcement on when the iPhone would be released, with Vodafone at the center of speculation.
Vodafone lost out on the UK iPhone deal to competitor O2, but should Orcon be the winner of the New Zealand deal, it wont be completely out of luck. Orcon, currently a broadband-only provider, can only offer cell-phone service in the first place because it signed a deal with Vodafone to share that companys cell network.
Neither Apple nor Orcon would confirm or deny the deal, though Orcon CEO Scott Bartlett did play coy with the Herald, saying, "At the moment only one other carrier in the world has what were going to offer. We may not be the only carrier by the time we launch - we dont know - but at this stage, yeah."
For its part, Vodafone claimed only to be watching the situation. Paul Brislen of Vodafone said, "Apple havent even announced a date for launching it in New Zealand so were just waiting."
Thanks to TMO and iPO forum member LaurieF for the heads up on this development.
