Quote: mas Does yours have a Velcro or another type of strap?.. The one in Manor had a velcro which ran out and could therefore not be tightened. No velcro on mine - mine has an elastic strap and a plastic buckle. The strap can be tightened a lot. Here's the one I have: http://www.belkin.com/ipod/iphone3g/ Peter

Quote: mimi1981 Uuummmmm....I've just got a new iPhone as it was free with my contract and I figured I'd keep up with the trends but I have to say, what is so bloody special? OK it has an iPod and nice touch screen as well as the ability to check my work emails etc. but really what is the big deal??? Glad I didn't pay for it is all I can say Come back in a month, after you have used it for awhile, and you can answer your own...

There's definately a new iPhone on the way... Vodafone have classed the current 3G 16GB as EOL in an internal memo. I'm having one!

Quote: Principia Discordia A quick question, I have a loaner iPhone I'm using since my regular Ericsson phone broke. I'm aware of the ridiculous charges I can incur while surfing, so I don't do it. My question is, I bought a few small games fron iTunes since I'll be getting an iPhone in a few months anyway, can I safely assume that most apps don't connect and upload/download data without my knowing it? Most games...

Oh dear, she just passed away. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8391624.stm I hope they will find a replacement intime to deliver her pithy parched dry Northern wit :-) RIP Maggie Jones and Blanche. Deidre will be even more dour now. Quote: higgybaby One of the Coronation Street characters, Blanche, has been quickly written out as the actress (Maggie Jones) playing her has been taken seriously ill . Her caustic wit is one of the things...

I have to arrange a return visit to fine tune a dish over that way (not far from the pool). So will pm you if when I can do that and try and come to you as well. Time for me is the biggest issue but that's family life I guess.

Basically, anybody who purchases one of these devices with their eyes open and having done their homework should have no complaints about functionality afterwards. Comparing one with the other is interesting, but at the end of the day simply shows that they are different, or more fit for a particular purpose, not that one is "better". As a wise man said further up the thread - horses for courses. I've been checking out...

An update on the 4 LNBs --> 2 x 4/1 diseqc switch --> twin tuner thing: Spoke to my friend again yesterday and he mentioned that last Monday he tried to record Fringe on SF2, Califirnication on TSR1 and Heroes on BBC HD at the same time. One of them was cut off (can't remember which one) halfway through because the other one started. Even though 2 of them are on the same transponder, it could not record both at the same time...

This rumour forgets to mention that the new camera is also supposed to add autofocus, if that makes a difference. An OLED screen has the potential of being a substantial upgrade over the previous model, but I don't think it will come to fruition. Regardless of how incremental this update will be, it will probably still be greater than the last one.
