How much?

Can't I just buy an iPad for less than they want for a device on a contract?

Seriously?

Android 1.5 and no Market Place or Google account sign in?

For those reasons I'm OUT.

Is this available in the UK yet?

I really want one.

Broadcaster does something a bit different, for free

and Reg readers moan, moan, moan. Who would have thought it? You really are a bunch of miserable gits sometimes.

Time for a confession

I have a T-Mobile G1. I love it. It's a great phone and does everything the iPhone does and a couple of things it can't. I'll defend it to the death and I hold out great hope for Android.

However, recently my girlfriend's crappy Nokia died a final death so I bought her an iPhone 3G S. It's amazing, a stunning handset, great app store and the browser rocks. Apps not running in the background doesn't seem to be a massive issue.

The thing that really sold me is that while there are many things that the G1 does just as well as the iPhone, the iPhone does them with way more style.

I'd quite happily own two smart phones....

Cupcake

I hate to point out a mistake but the T-mobile G1 is now a cupcake device, the update was rolled out to users in the UK about a month ago, with a security update about two weeks later.

So it's not just the Vodafone Magic that is cupcaked.

Paris because I'd like to ice her cupcakes.

I thought the porn star

thing was only of any use when you were asked to use your first pets name and your mothers maiden name.

Surely knowing someone's mothers maiden name is 100 times more useful than the pet/street combination?

My first pet was called Pussy. I have a great porn name.

So long, and thanks for all the gifs

The first website I ever built was in 1999 and was on Geocities and now it's my job. It was really quite pleasing to use in a way although I don't think I ever looked under teh hood to see what sort of codeMess it spewed out.

Love the layout of the article. Genius!

he he

I'm laughing because as soon as my Gmail came back I opted to install the offline feature. While backing up it offered me a link: Go into Flaky Connection Mode

Damn right.

Paris, because she goes down for hours at a time

It's easy to make your site work in IE8

Several months ago we put some code in our site that makes IE8 render as if it was IE7. Microsoft provide this code and it's a simple cut and paste job.

Job done.

Paris, because even she could do it.

Ha ha ha

Oh come on, hands up how many of the P2P users use it for entirely legal purposes? And yes the BBC does use P2P for the iPlayer downloads but at the last count (IIRC) they made up a tiny % of the total users. And while Virgin do say "download movies faster" I am sure if you asked their marketing dept they mean movies from legal sources such as iTunes etc.

Kids, we have to accept that the keys to the sweet shop are not a divine right.

On board/expandable storage?

No expansion slot, no dice, especially if it doesn't have syncing...

Paris, because (despite the above) I'd like to stroke it's smooth surfaces, and *blush* hers as well.

RE: Why?

So much wrong with your post...

1. You are NOT missing out on anything. The game will have been altered to ensure it does not contain flashing elements that could trigger a seizure. I am certain that you could play the game before and after the change and not notice any difference.

2. Photosensitive Epilepsy symptoms usually first appear during childhood or adolescence, with a peak at the beginning of puberty. So you could put all the stickers you like on a box, the individual playing may not know that they are susceptible to the condition.

3. If not exposed to triggers like flashing elements in games the 'epi sufferer' (what a lovely phrase...) may never have a seizure at all so it is well worth game producers taking the time to eliminate these scenes.
