Palm Pre 1.3.1 released to O2 UK

Unfortunately it's not fixed the 'phone offline' bug.

Response is a bit snappier, and takes less time to wake up.

TiVo returns to UK with Virgin!

Unfortunately I will have to move house as I'm not in a Virgin cable area :(

Palm Pre- close but not quite

Not quite an iPhone beater yet - but hopefully the November software update will fix the bugs that prevent the Pre from taking over from my iPhone!

WebOS is truly fantastic,but needs some polishing!

The UK Pre is currently only on version 1.1.3 as compared to the USA version.

My main gripes:
I have the 'Phone Offline' bug
Calender sometimes takes too long to confirm an entry
Device takes too long to wake up from sleep

Gomadic Palm Pre Car Holder mini-review

Not sure if this is worth the USD $24.95.

It seems just a generic car vent holder, but can hold pretty much any smartphone except the large ones like the HTC Advantage/Ameo.

At least this comes in 2 parts, unlike the older Gomadic generic vent holder.

This means you can use soimething like a proclip to attach the main holder instead of the slightly less secure plastic vent clips.

I have already ordered a touchstone, car holder and universal tips from gomadic.

Can't wait!

Mark Burgess's Up on A Hill chords and lyrics

Not gadget related, but worked this out just now:

Up on a hill


Em A
With all my heart I resist, With all my soul I resist
Bm D F C
The killers kiss and sweet sick motive promises,Where will they end? tin can cars and judas friends

Em A Em A
The Lion sleeps with the cheat
Em A
And sits in awe at his Feet

The sacred cell , opposing products on the shelf
Devils bait, way beyond the sell-by date

Em A D Bm
Up on the hill
Em A D Bm
Watch the world turn , Up on the hill
Watching Rome burn ,Yes I'm a fool, A fool not a rat

Em A D F#m D F#m
And I have no fear of the cat

G A F#m G A F#m G
Theres no desire to remain and breathe, While you suffocate
Theres no desire to remain, And prostrtate myself before a god of hate
Theres a place that exists, outside while your failing powers appear
I am still here,
F#m G A Em
I am sane I am absolved

Em A D Bm
Em A D Bm
Up on the hill
Em A D Bm
Watch the world turn, Up on the hill, Watching Rome burn
Yes I'm a fool, A fool not a rat

Em A D F#m D F#m
And I have no fear of the cat
D F#m
Yes I'm a fool, A fool not a rat
Yes I'm a fool,A fool not a rat

D F#m G A Em
