As drooling (and criticisms) over the iPhone continues apace in the US, here’s something you probably won’t know unless you disassemble your $600 gadget – the iPhone is stuffed full of European intellectual property, according to the Daily Telegraph: Wolfson Microelectronics, a spin-out from Edinburgh University which already supplies the iPod, looks to be providing the iPhone audio chip.
