Can anybody on this earth explain to me how this is the third most important story on the world’s most read news site?
Written by duckrabbitWow, is that a great bit of PR? Nuts.
Adam Westbrook your thoughts please?

I wondered that too! It’s a nice coup for Rory Cellan-Jones but its rare to see tech stories get so high up. Quiet news morning maybe? Or maybe the editors are giving in to viewer demands…which is worrying, cos I just noticed this story is the 2nd most read on BBC News Online:

I think it’s because they used the Jesus iPhone keyword. Anything associated with the Jesus phone automatically ensures a higher hit rate as the fan boi’s automatically twitter news of another mention to all who care.
