The Guardian re****ts that a television ad for the Apple iPhone has
been banned by the U.K.'s Advertising Standards Authority after
receiving complains about misleading claims.

The television ad which can be viewed online claims that "all the
parts of the internet are on the iPhone." The complaints about the ad
pointed out that the iPhone does not sup****t Flash or Java which may
be required for some websites. The Advertising Standards Authority
concluded that "the ad gave a misleading impression of the internet
capabilities of the iPhone".

Apple responded by saying that the purpose of the ad was to point the
iPhone's ability to access standard websites and that it could not
ensure compatibility with "every third-party technology in the
marketplace".
