Doubt Apple will bother with WiMax or LTE for a while yet, neither are very well established in the US, never mind the UK. Could easily be a generation or two before they see it as worthwhile. I'd rather nobody bothered personally, there's still vast improvements needing made to the existing 3G infrastructure after 8 years!

I believe Applecare gives you a worldwide warranty? If you're dropping £700 on one it's probably a sensible purchase anyway. Was reading on one site about a guy who imported his to have a coke can explode all over it two days later. £600 gone. Gutted.

Pretty much true. The App Store is vastly over-rated. What is it now? 120,000 Apps? I'd wager that 110,000 of those (at least) are utter garbage. I only use a dozen or so on any regular basis and they are definitely all multi-platform. The thing you have to accept with the iPhone is that a lot of the "great" apps that are really successful (for a short time) on the platform are designed to entertain stupid people. Not trying to be mean there, it's just simply true.

It might be worth taking a look at the Sony E-Series on the Sony site. You can configure it yourself and the pricing options are really reasonable.

Imagine if Nokia and HTC's devices got banned from the states. I actually hope it happens, it'd finally bring the flaws of the silly US patent system in to the limelight.

She's just this sort of... bigoted woman.

'Mr Cameron, what's your favourite joke?' 'Nick Clegg'. Ouch. Funny how some parliamentary seats can make people change their mind :p Not a bad coup for the Lib Dems; Deputy PM, Business Secretary, Chief Secretary of the Treasury, Education Secretary, Energy and Climate Change Secretary and Scottish Secretary. Not too keen on some of the Tory postings though. Theresa May as Home Secretary being a particular dislike of mine, can't stand that woman!

Let us know how you get on with it. Particularly interested in browsing and whether or not you use it as your main browser or whether lack of Flash and other niggles mean you're back at your desk/laptop. I've changed my tune in the past few months, giving serious thought to picking one up instead of a laptop.

Penumbra scared the crap outta me. Then again I'm crap with horror games...

This is what you get for voting tactically I'm happy with the decision personally. The Conservatives seem to be OK with the idea of compromise, which means this government might just succeed. I actually like their combined "manifesto" too, the good points of both parties without many of the bad points of either, it actually reads like it's been created in the public interest. The Deputy PM doesn't inherit any powers from the PM no matter what happens to him. If he's ill or away he assigns someone to be in charge, if he dies there's a leadership election. The position of Deputy PM is practically powerless really, it's a role that oversees others and gives advice, little else.

I can't believe he's still spouting this 'REAL change' and 'big society' shite. Still, congratulations to David Cameron. The final result seems like it will be the best for the country.

Random, but Boris Johnson is backing Mandelson for the new Labour leader :p

Mandelson would be awesome :p Can't say I trust the guy one bit but at least he'd give us one hell of a show for a few years. I actually think that first point might be a mistake. Bringing AV in immediately and without referendum when it wasn't offered at the election (only a referendum was offered IIRC) could well backfire. Not everyone is in favour of moving from FPTP and those that aren't will be seriously pissed about the decision being taken away from their hands. Interesting though, that's both parties apparently offering 4 posts, with Home Secretary and Chief Treasury Secretary among them. The Conservatives apparently offered Transport and Schools along with those two. That's a good group, playing in to some of the Lib Dems stronger policies and keeping them away from areas where they're unpopular (Defence and Foreign Policy).

The bookies have David Miliband as favourite, but I'm not so sure personally. If there's a Lab/Lib coalition and that coalition suffers a lot of public backlash then Miliband won't go near a leadership contest, he's ducked shit for too long to risk it all over the leadership of a highly unpopular coalition government. I'm gonna pop a bet on Alistair Darling. I've just got this sneaky feeling that he's being lined up to take Brown's place. No mention of him as either PM or Labour Leader a few months ago, then there was the odd bit of talk, then the bookies started to rate him. As of today he's third on 10/1 behind Alan Johnson at 6/1 and Miliband at 1/2. That's down from 25/1 last week. Actually made me lol. Lord Ashcroft would be a good shout too, bloke's already pissed that the Tories didn't gain a majority (so much monies so badly wasted! )

Same thoughts here really. No mention of him retiring from politics though. I guess he's keeping his place as an MP. It'll be interesting to see if he will keep a low profile, wouldn't be at all surprised to see him go from PM/Labour leader in to another (Shadow?) Cabinet position (Chancellor again?). Whatever he does I really hope he gets a break from all of the slander he's been getting from the right-wing media. They've created a lot of animosity towards him with a lot of people blaming GB for the recession, for redundancies and all manor of other things (Not that he doesn't bear some responsibility, but a global problem all on one man's head? I think not).

Hmmm... they can do that? Major suckage. I'm guessing that extra 500MB doesn't carry from month to month

Dell 14z from Amazon, £399. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0036TGP7O/ref=nosim/?tag=hotukdeals-21 You can get more powerful machines for the money, but they won't have 8 hours of battery life and they'll be a bit heavier. It depends what you use it for though, you might have need for something with more grunt.

Slow results tonight. So far it's very unexpected, with Labour holding a lot of seats that the Tories hoped to take yet losing others. Still expecting a Hung Parliament.

Land is Power candidate. Can't remember his name. Basically he's a commie. So angry about this stuff about this stuff about people being turned away from polling stations. It's a disgrace. I don't think calling it a conspiracy is accurate, but it's certainly undemocratic. Those polling stations should open again tomorrow, either for a re-vote or for those people who were turned away to be allowed to vote again. I'll be disappointed if the Conservatives secure a majority, but at least it's a democratic result. Nobody should ever be turned away from a polling station. No ballots left? Get people to write their answer down. No paper? Go out and buy some. Can't find any? Record them on a fucking laptop.

I don't think I've seen a single poll that puts the Tories on 60% of the popular vote... Nobody knows who will win yet. If the polls are accurate then it's a Hung Parliament and nobody will know who will come out on top there. It all hangs on whether or not Gordon Brown resigns, if he doesn't and can't secure the votes needed to push the 'Queen's Speech' through Parliament then get ready for another election. If he does resign then we'll either have a minority Tory government or (if it will shift the balance of power) a Tory/Ulster Unionist coalition government. That's the reason for the paranoia among the Conservative media. They can't afford a Hung Parliament because everyone knows Brown will do everything he can to keep the Conservative Party out of office. That doesn't necessarily mean Brown will stay, there's the possibility (though I doubt it will happen) of him resigning after the Queen's Speech. It's going to be a very interesting couple of weeks if there's no majority government

Not sure if I'll pick it up or not now, too many games due this month. I'm only planning on buying one so it's probably Alan Wake or Red Dead...

Just bought them. Thanks for the heads up What a nice little offer, the chance to help charity and indie developers whilst getting some good games on the cheap

I don't think there's that much mystery around who is going to come out top in this poll In fact, I'd bet on the Tories coming dead last :p
