No surprises with the Premiership football results on this UK public holiday today; Arsenal brush aside relegated Sunderland and West Ham took care of relegated West Brom.
And the Poms are crapping themselves because of Rooney's injury during the Chelski clash, which has his fitness and availability for the looming World Cup in doubt ...
@ da brixsta, how was it with Snoop Dogg in da house tonight? |

Played around with Google Maps for Mobile this evening and got excited when I saw they've got maps for Slaapstad. Zoomed in to get a bird's eyeview of my old high school, showed it off to my 16 yr old brother and he was totally blown away.

@brad: I attempted to take a couple of pics last night but they came out so bad I won't waste bandwidth posting them here. Saw a lot of K750/W800s, 6680s and an assortment of Samsungs at the concert.
EDIT: After careful consideration I decided to post this pic. That's Snoop in the middle.
@786KBR: FYI I'm using the latest version of Gmaps. When you download, just use the generic version which should work on any java-enabled phone. Good luck.

Sheesh, what is it with MTN and Vodacom's 3G service down here? To call it sporadic would be a compliment!

@da krypsta: Sorry to hear about your piss poor 3G service.
Bluetooth a gateway to shopping
The imminent May 2006 launch of the interactive Bluetooth network at Gateway Theatre of Shopping - developed, supplied and installed by WCIT (SA) and Blip Systems (DK) - will ensure that the right message reaches the right customers at the right time. Read more here
Here's a better picture of Snoop taken by a friend of mine who just happens to be a professional photographer.

AFAIK  is not regulated because the radio waves are short range. Back on the Gateway thing, I'l find it quite annoying if I'm bombarded with commercial messages as I go through a shopping mall.

Nice Doggy pose that your mate captured there, brixsta.
The Z530i has hit the shelves here this week. Nothing much to write home about it. Also saw the LG KG800 'Chocolate' slider phone at the local carphone Warehouse today.
Quite snazzy; the seemingly 'keypad-less' look in standby mode, but as you move the slide up, the front keypad shortcuts obviously 'appear' as well, in all their sharp scarlet splendour.
Nice try and a better effort than some of LG's other efforts of late, but still not enough to even remotely sway me.

Made a wacky sort of discovery this evening, while playing around with my tv I noticed a teletext service on SABC2. The Teledata(so 80s) service is good although the graphics doesn't seem to have caught up with the information age. Their Formula1 log was also outdated but then again the news headlines were spot-on. If you've got a tv that supports teletext just check out Page 100 on SABC2.

Now here's a strange beast, the BenQ-Siemens E61.
http://www.gsmarena.com/benq_siemens_e61-pictures-1502.php
It has appeared in the new Carphone Warehouse monthly catalogue and will be initially sold for £99.99 on the Virgin Mobile network when it becomes available in a week or so's time.
What makes this phone er...'unique' is that all the mp3 player's keys are on the top of the fascia! Gee, if ever there was a phone that resembled an electric shaver...
Wonder what it's like to use with that ergonomically-unusual mp3 player location.

@dr_thug: Hope  improve their market position by 2010. I'm more excited in the technologies we'll see incorporated into future handsets.

A quick 1.-something megapixel comparison between da Wanqsta's Nokia 3230 and SPV C550, of the Wanqmobile (Toyota Previa 2.4) outside temporary Wanqland, as we move into our first UK property in the coming month or so:
Nokia 3230
SPV C550
Not the most idyllic angle to take the pic, as the afternoon sun is filtering through the buildings and trees from the other side of the vehicle, but it'll do... |
