Some very cool videos available: check out the volume control and flight booking ones in particular! The tags used are really robust - they did a wastebasket torture test for a bit of fun as well :-)"

    So every time I want to move my pointer on the screen, I wait for my cellphone camera to take a photo and pay my network provider 30p for the MMS message? Nice gimmick, but no thanks. 10p for 160 characters is not quite so bad, but I do find my PC's keyboard much easier to use that the 12 key phonepad, even with predictive text input and both thumbs going flat out.
