Are all iPhone users lefty-flip-flop-wearing hippies?

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

A recent study highlighted by Will Heaven in the Telegraph claims that your choice of smartphone is a strong indicator of your basic politics. Apparently iPhone users are more likely to be ‘lefties’ and BlackBerry users more likely to be ‘right-wing’.

What then, does it mean, if you carry a BlackBerry, a Nokia, an iPhone and a Motorola Droid? Confused? ;-)

Did you say “Google Chrome Tablet?”

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

This tweet from Neville Hobson caught my attention:

“Google to unveil Chrome tablet?” FUD! http://is.gd/7xXlS

The tweet links to a v3 blog (formerly vnunet) discussing the possibility of a Google Chrome tablet…

Here’s a mock-up image:

Bring on the tablet wars…

Good morning from New York

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Hello everyone!

Thank you for your patience whilst I’ve been flying.

I packed my massive flight case late on Friday evening after a day of filming at the Symbian headquarters in London (more on that soon). I got to Heathrow and then had to empty some of the contents of the flight case. Here’s a picture of it:

My Peli 1630 flight case

It was brilliant to put all the camera gear and tech inside. Everything was packed away nicely. Unfortunately I had to stand there like a plumb emptying stuff and then weighing the case until I got it down to under 32kg in total.

I ended up having to squeeze my laptop and the two terabyte drives into my other suitcase. The whole point behind having a flippin’ massive sexy flight case is so that you don’t have to do this.

However a helpful chappy at the check-in desk explained that ‘the baggage guys won’t lift anything over 32kg off the belt’. I shall keep that in mind for the other five flights I’ve got this month.

Thank you to everyone who’s been demanding to know where the newsletter is. I actually wrote it on the Nokia Booklet 3G on the flight over. I just need to transcribe it into the newsletter system and send. Given the timezone difference I’m thinking of holding that ’til Friday so that you don’t end up getting two newsletters this week.

If you’re in New York and would like to meet, I’m here until Thursday and I’m at the ‘W New York – The Court’ at 130 East 39th Street. Come and have a drink?

The new Apple ‘i-Pad’ – not quite what we were expecting

Have you seen this yet? Just in case you haven’t, it’ll be useful for your Zeitgeist knowledge…

MAD TV filmed this i-Pad spoof a good few years ago:

108 days, weeks, hours, minutes or something else: The Symbian Countdown

It’s definitely not days.

It’s certainly not weeks, hours or minutes.

What else could it be?
