Nooooooooo not O2! I guess it would make sense after Apple's everso popular choice of Networks for the US....

Totally better be joking...

Meh!

Wow I want Woz's watch!

That looks like a beast, although the video is too low res to get a good look at it... Anyone know what it was?

*scurries off down to the internet to have a hunt for it*

To be honest I think one of the most important developments has been overlooked by most people, and that's something Steve Jobs said right back in his iPhone speech:

"200 million people around the world already know how to synchronise their iTunes with their iPod, so they already know how to sync their iPhone"

Well something along those lines...

I'm sure I'm not the only person who has been the victim of the truly terrible mobile phone sync software that the companies have given us to backup and sync our phones. Even now the brand new Nokia software often has problems recognizing some of the new phones reliably, and the 2 year old Motorola software for my A1000 has now reached the point where just plugging in the cable and synching causes my phone to go into a reboot death spiral!

If Apple are going to have all the phone sync functions within iTunes, as with the iPod, I think this is going to be huge... Apple are great at taking a technology that has never really worked well before, and making it Apple Simple and just work... So there is a very good chance they will sort this area out once and for all, and suddenly people will realise there is another way of writing mobile phone sync software.

p.s. you won't have to ask how much they are either ;-)

Like they say, if you have to ask what a Leaf Aptus is, you won't need one... ;-)

Oh dear..... I wonder if we'll get another iPhone vs. iPhone lawsuit over this: Bee Box vs Be Box

The UK's first ADSL 2+ provider Be has branded its ADSL 2+ modem the Be Box since they launched.... https://www.bethere.co.uk/dataSheet.do

To all those non-photographers, the term "photog" is short hand for "photographer" - which if you're typing it often on photography forums it saves a lot of time!

I've used the original Nexto CF for about the last 5 months and it's totally great - infact, it's on my belt now (it comes in a very cool leather belt case) as I've been out photographing Covent Garden for the last couple of hours...

The CF was already lightning fast at dumping my 5D's huge RAW files (ok, not quite as big as a P45's RAW files, but still quite big!), so that they have improved the speed can only be a good thing.... The only issue I'd say with the original CF is the battery life could be a little better, oh, and at night I wish the screen was backlit... Maybe they'll have improved that...

And re: the screen, it's not THAT big a deal really. I'm sitting in the cafe now and I will plug the CF into my Powerbook with the FireWire 400 cable and check the photos out and prune them directly on the drive using Lightroom... It's so fast you don't need to download the photos to your hard drive to work on them.

Great things come from this company..

"Pathetic, Apple, Just Pathetic, Is Apple so insecure that they have to rely on childish name calling? Oh, I forgot, they have a tool at the helm, Captain A-Hole - Steve Jobs.

Oh the irony...

This is all sounding a bit Gizmondo to me: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/04/16/gametrac_to_gizmondo/


Well if Infinium does ever launch in the UK then maybe they could take over a certain store on Regent Street that I believe is still empty: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/01/21/gizmondo_shop/
