Iphone 3.0 vs Palm Pre

I'm eagerly awaiting these features.

However, I had most of them in my 1997 Palm Visorphone -so Apple is 12 years late!


In addition, the exta features won't make it as functional as the Palm Pre -no multitasking,intelligent cloud support, PC/Mac independence,full file management,Flash player etc..., so I will have to have both phones come June/July, though I suspect the iphone will only be used as a backup and Last.Fm/Sonos controller!

Is it only me who thinks the June /July release date is coincidental with the Palm Pre release?

Extra wide screens -suitable for subtitles?

The new extra-wide screens from Philips could be great as a subtitle monitor.

One of my pet hates are big subtitles overlaid on top of the movie instead of confined in black bars.

I would put the subtitles on one screen below my main 16:9 screen.

Is there any subtitle software for pulling text from HD-DVD/Blu-ray?

You can integrate Last.Fm on your TiVo (series 2 and 3 only tho I think)

Check it out

Would be nice to get this working on a UK series one, but might be a bit slow.

Sonos-Iphone-Last.FM

These integrate pretty well and are great way to listen to your music!

Very flexible in finding new music, a bit like TiVo, but not quite as powerful.
Last.fm has a pretty good matching facility and the Sonos and iPhone integration is neat.

You can also see how many people and how often they listen to your music!

First Fujitsu, now Pioneer ends UK plasma production

I think Fujitsu still make plasmas in Japan though..

Sad day.

Wonder if Planar's £5.5k plasma is any good?
