In preparation for the large event in the UK, Sky News has released an application to coincide with the release of the iPhone.

Sky news has developed an iPhone-optimized news site for iPhone/iPod Touch. Today when thousands of new iPhone owners go live in London, Sky news will be there with a warm welcome.

The Sky news page will be quick to load, like most web applications, and provide quick scrolling and will include large buttons for each story. Click here to take a look.

Apple’s iPhone will go on sale at 6:02 PM, today. Line sitters started gathering early Thursday morning. I am very excited for them. I remember the launch date here as if it were yesterday.
