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.

    The exclusive U.S. provider for Apple Inc's iPhone, which is popular among web surfers, said the problem did not affect voice calls, text messages or mobile e-mail on Research In Motion Ltd BlackBerry devices.

    "We identified it as a routing issue in the way data is routed to and from wireless devices," said AT&T spokesman Mark Siegel.

    He would not provide more details about the cause of the problem which affected the company's fastest data network as well as its older slower data services.
