OT : Phones....

Um, yes.

I've got bras that can do that.

Tit man then?

 

Ooh I know the answer to this one. I couldn't decide between the HTC HD2
or the iphone so I thought I'd stall for time and scratch that
acquisitive itch by purchasing some electrically heated motorycle
garments. They arrived today and whilst satisfying the need for warmth,
I found myself confused to find there wasn't some complicated
electronic add on to control them. No sign of a touch screen or even an
on/off button. They appear to be functionally effective, which in this
day and age is very unusual.

 

not at all - only a few months back I took her out to Rigby and Peller
and spent several hundred pounds on bras and panties that she felt
comfortable with, and which looked good as actual underwear. I've
never felt the need to try the stuff on myself.

ill in the sense of it wounds my sense of aesthetics.

 

Is *anyone* here daft enough to be buying tracks from those robbing cnuts?

 

Presumably cos you have your own, in the right size?

Ace? Ace? You must have heard of iTunes?

Apples media player that's grown into the iPhone control/sync software?

Slow, but even so, nothing comes even close to it for convenience. Not even
"I can simply drag everything from this 'ere folder into the folder with the
picture of my phone on it."

 

took a blunt brush and painted...

I keep on forgetting you can buy tracks through it.

I use it to rip CDs, organise all my music, videos, iPhone apps, podcasts,
upgrade the iPod (and iPhone when I had one), convert formats, play music,
stream music.

The visualisation [1] is boring after a while though and it doesn't do
desktop mode like Winamp does.



[1] There is only one.

 

oh, sure, I have my "special drawer" ;-)

 

I don't have an iPony, so there's no need for apps.. and I do all the
other things using winamp to a regualr ipod. hooray for phones that
only phone people.

 

How quaint.

 

I prefer, effective.

Example: type text message - at least a minute, fucking about with
fiddly keys.

Hit dial, talk to person or leave voicemail: Seconds.

If I want to use instant messaging, spreadshets, or play games, I'll
use a PC, whilst sat at a desk in comfort, with a cup of tea.

Lounging - It's the future.

 

It wouldn't. However the OP was suggesting that the Hero could be an
iPhone killer, whereas nothing will be able to kill off the iPhone
whilst Apple are making shitloads of money from selling music and
video in iTMS.

And to be truly competitive another manufacturer will have to equal
the iTMS which is almost impossible at the moment.

 

8.99 for iTunes, 8.99 for Play for a cd recently. iTunes satisfied my
"want-it-now" gene.

 

I'm with el pelirojo on this one. Spesh seeing as most of us around here
are sat in front of PCs most of the day.

 

Just what did retired ex-pats do before computers became ubiquitous?

 

The wives of their ex-pat neighbours.

 

Gathered together in British style venues consuming British styled
products, whinging about how much they miss the good old days.

 

So for the same price I can have something physically printed, in a nice
case with artwork, and still convert it to MP3 without any kind of digital
protection. Yeah, think I'll carry on with buying CDs. I can't think of
a single instance of wanting an album so badly that I have to have it
right away.
