Yes – Rugby parlance. Verb: To participate in a scrum. (probably)

Y'know, someone might think it was because one of the team was missing..

..but I doubt that's the reason.

Is 'scrummaging' a word??

We had some great content but a lot of the padding and Digital Winter stuff was lost due to technical issues!

Cheers Olly, we aren't hugely happy with this episode as we had some great content but technical issues meant we couldn't bring you some of the better footage.

I guarantee that next week's show will be an absolute corker though!

Very good show guys — judging from the comments, the iMovio caught the most attention (and it is a fascinating device, especially for the market it's aimed at), but am I the only one that was riveted by the power segment? I LOVED all the solar powered schwag, I can see the big one (Sun Gorilla?) being in the back window of my vehicle charging any number of things.

Great stuff!

Dr. Jack's hair is awesome! reminds me of Al Pacino, that alone made the show!
getting back to the ikit. i guess it would be cool to have it by your bed side and jump on the web anytime for a quick search. depending on the price point i would consider it. but then again, nothing a N810 can't do.

er….the evolution of mobile devices argues the other way. We are carrying more stuff than ever – MP3 Players, digicams, GPS devices, laptops, netbooks, games consoles etc. If people wanted converged devices, then these other devices wouldn't exist – but they do, in an ever-increasing plethora of niche.

Why should evolution mean convergence? I'd argue evolution deliberately diverges. If evolution meant convergence we'd only have a few animals, not the millions of species we have now.

In a battery-powered world, having one device is a single point of failure – and as Ewan discovered to his loss this weekend in Paris, putting all your e-ggs in one basket just leads to tears

Yes everyone – I know girls. Well… one or two.

Well, just one.

I do agree but if i browse on my n95 for hours, I will kill the battery and I can't ring or sms anyone. I am very very tempted by this. I think it is awesome. I can be in Uni and just want to check my email or FB very quickly. Awesome.

liked the iMovio. I wouldn't buy it personally but I wish them well. I would like to see a bigger screen, possibly a touchscreen that uses the entire space. Was it easy to close and open – with one hand?

PowerGorilla should win something for the name alone.

Best weekly show on the Web. Til next week…

I thought it helped develop your public image Ben...

And I was looking for something nice to put in the outtakes that wasn't Dan
vomiting* over the guy from Motorola or James slapping* that guy from Nokia.

* Both not actually accurate in any way
