"considerably tweaked" my arse, they've just sorted out the atrocious battery life that should have been dealt with years ago.
Bring on the decent player that also has decent (IE not white . . . ) earphones, or canal phones at a preferance.
Wow your so full of shit!
All of those points could be applied to anyone from any country - I'm more likely to attribute it to USA people than Indians.
Yet ATRAC files are better sounding than MP3's.
What difference does it make what format the player holds the files in anyway? If it's easy to transfer MP3s to the player, and the player plays them back to the listener at a high quality - whats the problem?
When the show me a phone thats the size of a watch but as easy to use as my Sony Ericsson P900 - I'll take notice - until then this tech is restricted to rabid first adopters and Star Trek fans.
20% of Mobiles by 2007 - hell we're not all that foolish ya know.
I wondor which terrorist threat will be used to justify this one?
The way we're going the UK will be implanting babies in the womb with chips, ID's, DNA scans, iris scans, finger prints, foot prints, intelligence tests, ASl . . . . . .
Someone vote this joker Blair out, I'm too scared to be registered to vote:/
Damn u - I submitted this 3 weeks ago!
Anyway - more to the point it's a pretty sweet conversion, works pefectly with win2K and brings backk all those memories of SCUM on the A500:D
"Jeez. First time I looked at MySQL a couple of years ago for a project I started putting a basic database scheme together an went to construct a view, only for my Jaw to hit the desk when I found out they were not available"
Man I have SO been exactly there - my first use of MySQL for a peronal project floored me when I discovered there were now view (After searching the progfram for a button I thought had gone missing) - now I try to use MSSQL2K like I do at work:)
BUt they do get passed on, people have a genetic predisposition to cancer, heart disease, diabetes and many other diseases like that - should they be sterilised?
If you go along that path then surely people's intelligence should be tested and we sterilise anyone with an IQ less than 100? Don't want to pollute that Gene pool ya know cos it's in a great state now.
Don't they still call people like you Nazis?
I haven't had children yet, but unsurprisingly everyone in my family before me who had muscular dystrophy did. They had kids, just like I intend to because I want to - procreation is a rather fundamental human instinct.
I am hoping that by the time I have kids there will be a way of fixing the problems in my genetic code, until then I feel that I have more to offer as a parent than most, so I will still have children. Rading about medical developments like this give me hope that my children, if affected with muscular dystrophy (You can just carry the genes recesivly like I do with no ill affect) will be able to lead full happy and fruitfull lives.
I actually have muscular dystrophy, and although it doesn't affect me, it affects my mum, and potentially my children - I'm damn glad that someone has taken the time to research this oft (relatively) overlooked genetic disease.
but the N-Gauge is HUUUUUUGE! Looks more like your holding a phone the size of a deskphone to the side of your head!!
I'm pretty sure this is why phones are getting smaller over here in the UK, and why the N-Gauge and the 7700 will die a quiet death.
Looks like that dodgey N-Gauge thingy to me - don't realy fancy a phone that makes me look like a prick when I hold it to my head tho:(
Don't people realise hands free has one use only - driving.
So another application of wonderfull technology without any clear aim eh?
Have no fear - some EU tech minister who couldn't tell the difference between a ZX-81 and a Pentium will pop up soon to tell us how "This will bring the nations of Europe together"
Pffft:(

Well maybe if they were book shaped, with a cover and pages, and worked like a book? Kind of like a book really.

So is this what killed MSN messenger for so damned long? Man that was almost as bad as my mobile running out of batteries - felt very alone :'(

Oooops - my apologies this was supposed to be a reply to my troll, not a reply to myself, which I have just done again, damn.
