No Wangs,didnt see that article.Its true about the DevTeams efforts going from a gush to a trickle.The amount of time I had to wait for my firmware 3.0 jailbreak tools was quite long compared to the 2.2.1 firmware.I can''t see it been a definite though.For the time been,yes,theyve most probably patched it,but there are some brilliant minds out there which will eventually exploit Apples efforts.

@GUCCI: I want more people in SA using Twitter, the numbers aren't too high although I'm following @fistazmixwell now. What I like about Gravity though is that you can post pictures taken with ur phone directly onto twitter along with check for the latest trending topics.

Last week my heart was broken when I discovered that despite finding an Augmented Reality(ARound) app for my E66(S60v3), it only worked on FP2 phones. Seems like I'll have to get another phone to take advantage of the not so latest technology.

@GUCCI

Now, I love BMW and I never thought there could be anything particularly from Mercedes Benz that could tempt me and I was wrong. The only problem is that I can't afford both cars.

Let's face it BMW is the benchmark in the 3, 5 and SUV ranges. And then add the M versions of those cars and there's just no stopping them.

Audi and Merc just can't beat the Bimmer.

Having pointed that out, however, I fell in love with the S65 AMG. For once Merc struck the right balance of power and finesse coupled with glorious comfort. It simply is stunning, out of this world, sublime, it really is THE ultimate driving machine- BMW will kill me using their slogan on a Merc!

I was driving it of course, a business acquaintance of mine owns it. I started reading up on it and reviewers love it. Sad that the 760i can't really match it based on those reviews.

I'm trying my luck on this powerball lotto thing cause I fell in love head over heels with the S65 AMG. It is big though which I don't mind really.

I raved on and forgot to mention my second favourite Benz- the SLS. That is sex on wheels, beatifully designed that even those Gullwing doors don't offend me that much. To me that is the best designed car in the world.

I also wouldn't mind the stock S600 which is still in a league of its own already but the M5 destroying S65 AMG just took me to another level in ALL departments. It was just effortless considering its huge weight. My car feels inadequate after riding in that amazing piece of engineering.
Man, I can go on and on singing the S65 praises but I'll stop here.

Now where is that lotto ticket?

Thats true,been trying to get more of my friends on it but MXit and FB still seems to be the preferred choice especialy now that you have profile pics and status updates on MXit. Ya its starting to suck to have a FP1 phone now some newer apps just dont work.
Dups!
OMG! You lucky so an so must have been phenominal to drive having that huge 6litre twin-turbo charged V12 AMG tuned engine at your every command! Lol theres no smiley for envy here. I dont like Merc either but realy cant ignore the beautiful sound of a AMG Merc idling right next to you. Lol i can imagine it feeling awkward back in your own car after driving such a machine,did you get to floor it a few times?
The Sclass are beauties,but if i had the cash id take a M5 as well or a M6 Coup¨¦ with a AC Schnitzer bodykit, that thing looks mean when its got the dim lights on and its on your rear view mirror

The sound of that engine is music to my ears. The gadgetry in that thing is amazing.

Oh yes, I did push it to about 180-190 km/h and it still felt like I wasn't doing anything, it was like it was saying 'is that all you got?'. To be honest I was thinking if I get caught doing that speed I'll be in trouble but I said what the heck.

It is beautifully balanced and grips the road perfectly for a big car.

I really would love to have that car even if it is a Merc. Somebody got 2 million to spare?

Must have been incredible i wouldve done the same no doubt sounds fantastic. LOL time to hit up the car auctions,im sure there are loads of S65 AMGs waiting for a new owner. I remember posting some pics of an Aston Martin DBS that i had spotted quite a few times at the local shopping center some time ago here, well saw that very one last week being auctioned off at just under half its price on Ignition GT.

Aston Martin DBS, now there's a car to enjoy. I've ever seen one guy driving that around town. Looks beautiful and sporty.
