Boring..

Gents - All this mud slinging is getting boring.. Can you take it over to ZDNet where it'll be more appreciated ?

Is a hole as good as 3 aces ?

Just wondering, cos if so, I'll be using those on my next poker night with the boys..

Sonos is better..

..and it doesn't need the slim-server software installing..

Paris cos I bet she has a Sonos

it didn't work for me..

I upgraded mine last night (after some wine, it seemed like a good idea)..

Ziphone ran fine, but then gave me an error at the end..

"ERROR: ziphone returned 1"

After that the iphone is in emergency call mode only.. although it still receives text messages on a vodafone sim.. Guess I'll be the guy switching my sim back to my trusty blackberry till Zibri does his thing

Upgrade in haste, repent at leisure !

@Sol Kahn - cracking iPhone is easy..

Personally, I think the discrepancy is a combination of all of the things discussed, but definitely one of them will be phones that are not registered.

I have one I bought in the US for $400, and a Hong Kong TurboSIM clone from Ebay (£30).. so for £230 I have a working 8Gb iPhone running on any network I like.. and it was very very simple..

Downgrade to 1.1.1

Jailbreak

Upgrade to 1.1.2

Insert TurboSIM + SIM

bingo..

Seems a damm site easier to me than unlocking a BBerry..

VMS is the future..

The only truly secure O/S I've ever used was VMS. It was so secure you couldn't do a damn thing.. bit like vista's security nagging

@Tom Chiverton

Not up on your George Orwell ?

I was merely implying that IMHO IMAP is a generally good and reliable beast.. and that POP3 is an annoying pimple on my IT landscsape.

(Although I can see why historically POP3 was something that was necessary given the dial-up access everyone had in it's hay day..)

Multiple Streams..

Agree totally with John Naismith.

I have an original slingbox, which I really like for watching crappy tv in bed on a laptop, or keeping an eye on News 24 during the day from my home-office..

..and I love it.

But..

I would pay quite a bit more for a slingbox that supported multiple streams or multiple concurrent connected clients (say 5) then me, the missus and the kid(s) could watch different things or the same thing from different venues..

What a spiffing idea..

buy another app server and then try integrating it with all the other products you've already failed to integrate.. can't wait to see how they position weblogic and it's integration points with the legacy technology that 60% of oracle customers still use...
