Reading this morning’s Irish Times, I spotted something that doesn’t seem to add up.
Karlin Lillington has a mid-sized article on the imminent US iPhone launch (subs required), and says that it will go on sale at 6pm, Californian time. However, the article adds that this is 10am Irish time, but it’s not.
California is behind Ireland by 7-8 hours, meaning the 6pm launch will be 2am on Saturday 30th June by Irish watches. Even if the 6pm launch were on the East-coast, which is around 5 hours behind GMT, it would be 11pm on Friday night here.
Yeah, I know. Who cares? It’s certainly not a big deal… Just an odd gaffe to make, I guess.
