Iphoned (a review)

Well now that some of the hype has died down, I actually went to an Apple shop and had a good poke around at the Iphone the other day.
Now, I'm a bit of a phone geek. I've had a succession of "giant" smartphones with touchscreens, real web browsing, email, video, music etc since 2003, and maybe that explains it a bit. But at the end of the day, I was massively underwhelmed by the Iphone.
Sunshine - a review (with spoilers)

Peepo!This isn't a review of Giz's good lady wife - that would be a bit odd. No, this is a review of the film Sunshine, by Danny Boyle, and like any good review it contains spoilers. I'm going to tell you what happens, and exactly why what happens is rubbish.
Because it is rubbish. Really rubbish. So rubbish that I'm probably doing you a favour by spoiling the film for you if you haven't seen it, so please read on.

Giant Phone 3.0 - Not Giant

The T28sRegular viewers will know I have a penchant for geeky phones, and Sony Ericsson's in particular. It all started off small, with the teeny tiny Ericsson T28, then got slighty bigger the next year with the T39 (which added mobile internet and something called "predictive text"), and then slightly bigger again with the T68i (with a 256 colour screen!) and then, wow. Suddenly I had a brick on my hands with the P800, and the Giant Phone was born.
It's not often that gadgets gets progressively bigger year on year - generally the trend runs the other way - but as massive as the P800 was, it was a fantastically advanced phone. Being Sony Ericsson's first UIQ Symbian device, it was as much PDA as smelling bone, with a lovely big touchscreen, handwriting recognition, and lots of great software that allowed you to knock up a spreadsheet, maintain a website, and play Lemmings all at the same time.
