I like!

Thankfully a sensible dash - minimalist and energy saving! neon lighting all ofer the car interior and giant LCD displays are the last place i want my precious electicity going!!!

as this is based on a current petrol car, it would be interesting to see the price comparison between one of these and the IC equivelent - purcase price, cost per mile in fuel and the recyling cost, both in money and CO2 :)

If I had an unlimited supply of cash and lived in a city, with a garage at home, then Id quite fancy one of these...

the mind boggles

howabout this for an idea... leave the Voluntary rescue services alone...

fire that room full of think-mongerers and you will instantly save a lifetimes amount of spectum revenue.

actually thats damn good PR... fire the twats - save money, gain some shred of public respect and only hurt a few people who are sick twisted, probably overpaid individuals that wont be missed anyway!

everyones a winner!!!!

fill the tank....

surely mpg/mpcharge should be measured as distance travelled without stopping... if the mpg claims are made with the car being recharged every 5 minutes then they are a waste of time...

a move away from mpg will be needed and miles per unit of energy will be needed... a comparable approximation of the cost of running an internal combustion engine + cost of charging a battery pack = overal cost of driving/cost to environment, this way an SUV with a tiny hybrid engine to bend its way into 'green tax bands' will still be less environmentaly sound than a small capacity compact diesel car...

while we have it, there should also be an Xyear/Xmiles TCO figure laid out - environal cost of raw production, transportation to dealer, replacement batteries, disposal + recycling to really force the car manufacturoers to not hide behind ludicrus mpg and buzz technologies, but to show commitment to the environment....

dun good

he sold 2 pics for $350 each... not bad...

at ac who thinks the ipone works straight from the box!

'iPhone, it just works without users having to dick about trying to find 3rd part solutions to things it should do out of the box '

erm... the app store? a whole raft of applications not made by apple to fix the iphones shortcomings...

untill last month... mms? app needed to bodge that... want to rotate a photo?? need an app for that... flash content... oh! no app for that!!! safari doesnt render every page perfectly... no alternative app for that!

I love Winmo, yes its fiddly, sometimes, but a hell of a lot more flexible... and it atctually multitasks! nothing like closing each applicatio if i need to open another!

the mobile in my pocket?? well, it happens to be an 8gb Iphone 3G!

re ac 09:31

Well it looks as though 2 Manc citizens now have a laptop to read the reg on now....

dont worry, Ill get my own!
