A big business buy and Starbucks Wi-Fi round out this week in numbers.
Good news for travelling Europe with your mobile: the EU is expected to cap prices on roaming charges, while T-Mobile offers unlimited internet for a year on their Blackberry Pearl for a one time fee of 180.
10 pence the price cap the EU is expected to put on phoning abroad from your mobile. The BBC reported that the new price caps for a roaming text will be 10 pence, which is 16 pence less than today's average.
15 per cent the growth in profit Apple has seen over the last quarter, even though consumer spending has been at a low due to the recession.
179.99 the one-off fee T-Mobile is charging for Blackberry Pearl and unlimited email and internet access for a year, alongside pay-as-you-go calls and texts.
650 the number of Starbucks cafs across the UK and Ireland that will be teaming up with BT to offer free Wi-Fi to customers. There is a catch: Starbucks surfers need to be BT subscribers to get access; others will need to sign up to gain access.
$7.4 billion the amount of money Oracle is paying for Sun Microsystems.
