    ...then they butcher your name. It's Gandhi. It's a common mistake but I suspect most people aren't even aware that they spelt it incorrectly. Cheers, Snrrrub

  2. Re:Wait... on Virgin Radio Launches 3G Radio Service · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, for one, doing 128 kbps on a GPRS network isn't exactly possible. So your radio stations have to support custom mobile streams. Then there's the problem of such streams. On a desktop, you can just browse around until you find something you like. On a cell phone, browsing is quite a pain. So you'd better have a known link. Of course, you also need a player for the stream. In this case, they've pretty much managed to put it all together in an easy-to-use (albeit restricted to VR) form. A lot of people (e.g. Nokia) go to great lengths to make things usable. When you're dealing with people who select "yes" when asked 3 times to install a virus, you'd better make it really really simple.

  3. Headsets on Virgin Radio Launches 3G Radio Service · · Score: 1

    Most (if not all) of these phones have stereo headsets that can be attached as well. You don't have to use the speaker but you can if you wanted to. The sound quality is naturally far better on the headset.

  4. Data rates on Virgin Radio Launches 3G Radio Service · · Score: 1

    Actually, the data rates in the US are quite affordable. T-Mobile offers unlimited GPRS for $19.99. What's more, this app runs on 2.5G (GPRS) as well.

    Really, $20/mo seems reasonable, especially considering the amount of money techofreaks and gadget geeks spend on other seemingly useless things. :-)
