    That is awesome, and now I think about it, I need a change of direction, been in charge of a platform of which you were also lead architect, which helped rake in 150M+ per year pays less than giving a good rush of air job...... Think I'm going to register an adult theme'd site for geeks "she used her loaf" just sounds about right.

    We could even have different kinds, the odd granary bun or tiger bap, actually maybe not the latter, don't want to over stimulate.

    Do that and you'll only attract old crusties
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.

    The more i think about it, the name "Yeast Infection" sounds right, thou it does sound like a 70s prog rock band.

    Actually the yellow mark appears to be receding.

    Buy a £10 - 20 pay as you go Nokia for phone calls. Sellotape it to the back of your iPhone. Job done.

    really rather good.
    That said the Apple Friendly Tamed press are praising the viewing angle. It isn't quite as good as my touch HD2, but given its a higher resolution that is kinda to be expected.

    However the high DPI is quite nice, things are crisp. Safari navigates a loaded page quite well redraw speed wise, but overall is not as good as pocket opera on the HD2 for intelligence, but doesn't suffer the redraw issues opera does.

    I'm waiting till monday to see if the yellow blob clears, but am still not sure if I'll be keeping it, or if I'll just wait for a touch to come out.

    I held one almost horizontally, waaaay more than you could ever do when using it normally & could still see the screen clearly, was one of the things that impressed me the most actually

    Still surprised you gave it a shot at all Given that my most used application on my iPhone has not equal on other platform, my options are to see what kind of deal O2 can cut me (given that I've not upgraded in a while), or pick an Android phone plus a Touch, which is more than I'd like to carry.
