Steve Jobs has kissed and made up with his French girlfriend. Orange is the official iPhone cell provider in France. Why the delay in signing up Orange? The socialist French have an unlocking requirement for cell phones. Six months after you buy a phone, your provider must unlock it for you. A number of observers opined that this may a sticking point for Apple, but we don't see that there's anything they can do about it if they want to operate in France. Likely, the delay was in negotiating Apple's percentage of subscription revenues. No word on what the final price was.(Photo by mukluk)
