iGamePod

well, the iPhone camera telescope add-on (couple of weeks back) definitely ain't gonna sell....

...but this, hmm, actually looks quite good... almost very good!

Bet Apple wish they'd though of it!

@ Mister Cheese

LOL!

can't programme - but I did complete Citadel, which made full use of those colours in Mode 2, awesome stuff!

Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

I am also waiting for this phone. I thought September was too late, then I hear it's gonna be November and now 2009, jeez!

Can't wait that long for my tech fix, might have to go back to plan B or C (the Omnia and the iPhone respectively).

If Sony make us wait soooo long then they deserve to lose, even Nokia seem to have finally got their finger out and will be releasing the Tube before Xmas.

3G troubles

Unclear in the article - what exactly doesn't it do 3G wise?

-download fast enough

-upload fast enough

-pick up the 3G network properly

And if so, by how far does it fall short of the mark?

I remember SJ boasting how fast it was in the launch...?

God Knol

Earlier today I wrote a very informative KNOL - it's intention was to clarify for uncertain people whether or not God actually exists (here's a clue: he doesn't).

Seemingly this non-inflammatory factual KNOL failed to make it past the big G, as, although it's "puplished" I don't find it when I search?

Fire, because I'm gonna burn in, oh no, wait a minute...

New in-flight game: Gurneying the F16

So much for Solitaire and PacMan on your 8 h transadlantic flight.

I must start practicing my shifty squints!

Doom3: Quest for the light switch...

...just couldn't find one anywhere in Doom3! I rapidly got fed up of wandering around lost in the dark so gave up!

(and played BF2 instead)

@Ash, me too for DNF, c'mon!

- Paris loves Duke too.

I stand corrected!!

aah, my applologies to O2 then..

..I'll get my coat.

PS3 catches up with Xbox360

...wot? u mean you CAN'T send messages to your friends on a PS3 at the moment?!!

Bill, because he can do messaging lying down.

I bet Jack could do it...

... with Cloe's help on the upload, all before the President comes back from the bathroom...

RROD on very first power-up, SOB!

... not what you want to see after getting home an excitedly plugging in your new toy!!!

[this was at start of Feb 08]

Still, took it back to PC World where it obligingly did it again… and I got a replacement. But, this makes me wonder about those people who have to play Halo3 for 45 min before getting the RROD. What do PC World do then? Do they make you play for 45 min in shop until destruction, or do they just believe you???

So far so GROJ on 360 II. [Green Ring Of Joy; first use - no hits on Google!] Still, not really pushed it heat wise yet as I am still playing the Boogie Bunnies two level demo!

between a rock and an iPhone

Apple are making life very difficult (for me, not themselves).

My Voda (UK) contract will shortly run out and I would LOVE an iPhone. Trouble is although the iPhone is very desirable it is a bit feature short, so what I really want is the iPhone 2 (thinner, with GPS, 7 MP camera, VGA screen). So instead I am found contemplating spending £250 for the 16Gb Touch..... but I know as soon as I buy one Jobs will release the iPhone 2...., so I can't bring myself to buy my Touch...

trouble is, I won't be able to bring myself to buy the iPhone 2 either, as it will undoubtedly be £400 on £35/month (x18) on non 3G (duh?) O2, I mean, c'mon Apple! Throw me an iBone.

So I will end up with nothing!

By choosing only 1 operator per country Apple prevent a price war and are able to keep the price inflated..... selling fewer more expensive units as opposed to lots of cheaper units. Thus making it more desirable, thus making me want one even more..... grr!

@AnonymousCoward

Sorry, but you're wrong! The reason you can't see the dust is just that it's out of focus. The proof: stand behind a chain-link fence and take a picture of a distant object with a camera... can you see the fence in your picture? Answer, no (the camera has no brain and therefore it's dissappreance has nothing to do, in this instance, with visual filtering).

I think I am right in saying that it will be utterly impossible to read anything produced on the contact lens display, this is EASY to prove. Just see how close you can bring a text-book to your face before you can't read anything. I'd wager that, unless you are shortsighted, this will be about a hands-width away. Now imagine trying to focus on text at the front of your eye-ball displayed on the surface of the cyber-lens. Sorry, no way!!

[I'm sad because I am right]

er, does this mean...

..that if I buy a brand new iPod Touch I will have to then pay $20 for the update, or will it already by installed?
