Six versions of ICub exist in laboratories across Europe, where scientists are painstakingly tweaking its electronic brain to make it capable of learning, just like a human child and hoping it will learn how to adapt its behaviour to changing circumstances, offering new insights into the development of human consciousness.

    Without citing sources Rheinische Post said in a preview of a story to be published on Wednesday that T-Mobile is expected to sell the iPhone exclusively with a T-Mobile contract for around 450 euros ($612) starting Nov 1.

    Deutsche Telekom and T-Mobile were not immediately available for comment.

    The iPhone, which comes with an in-built iPod, web browser and e-mail software, went on sale in the United States on Friday.

    Apple has signed up top U.S. telecoms operator AT&T Inc. (T.N) in an exclusive deal for at least two years to sell the phone in the United States, where customers willing to sign a two-year contract are expected to pay $500 to $600 for a handset.

    In Europe, Britain's Vodafone Group (VOD.L), Deutsche Telekom, Paris-based France Telecom (FTE.PA) and Spain's Telefonica (TEF.MC) have been tipped as potential partners for Apple.
