"It really needs to be under £250/€300/$400 to have much traction."

seeing as that's cheaper than an iPod Touch I don't think that's in any way realistic

My iPod

Mine broke a few months ago when I spilt milk on it. I should probably make it explode so I can get a new one for free.

@InsaneGeek

well seeing as you shouldn't be phoning while driving I don't see where the problem is

lcars

check out iLCARS app if you want to do some scanning for tachyons or suchlike

No

If you had your bosses ID he'd still have to have hacked his phone too for this to work

EU

Seeing as the pre isn't even available in Europe I don't see why the EU should do anything.

Fix

Messing with the registry is really easy. if you want to delete this virus just delete the whole registry and restart, that'll work fine.

@Alien8n

If you have a Mac then you can drag an MP3 into Garageband, set a small loop from within the MP3 and then select export to ringtones. It'll send it to iTunes and you can SYNC next time you plug the phone in. It won't work with DRM'd stuff though, obviously. I imagine there's something that'll do the same job in Windows too.

pocket

"by double-clicking the Home button (see “Home Button” on page 95)."

thanks for that. guess I should have read the manual because that's pretty useful

As for keeping the iPhone in your pocket you guys are talking rubbish. I keep mine in my pocket fine even when I'm cycling and it's not broken or uncomfortable. The reason people get it out and put it on the table is to show off!

not just games

Games aren't the only reason for a graphics card. Ever tried using visualisation software with vast numbers of particles & triangles without one? It's not good.

wires

"it appeals to people who don't get even coverage throughout their home."

I think you can get something else that lets you use the phone indoors, I can't remember, but I think they're called landlines and use wires.

Cylon

If you're a Cylon you'll see the Eye of Jupiter in it.

@Dan 35

unless you specifically asked not to be a member then you were, every student is automatically a member of their student's union

shaking

shaking to undo isn't a poor UI to anyone who's ever had an etch a sketch

tax

I don't mind paying tax, what I do mind is paying money through the government to service providers to do what they should have been doing anyway!

all bad

All mobile phone companies are as bad as each other. Vodafone seem to be permanently performing maintenance on their website, 3 will call you up and pretend to be your current provider offering an upgrade to trick you into switching to them and they're all just out to rip you off any chance they get.

@Rob E A Harvey

sounds like you want a tricorder mate.

joke

they're just having a laugh, like the irritating person on a coach trip who'll always say 'whoever's not here put your hands up'
