Stephen Fry is truely polejocking. That "iPad About" did not tell me things i dont already know, what it did was kiss Apple and Steve Jobs' ass, go on to say a tiny bit about iPad, mock who ever doesnt think its worth an ass kiss, and then go on to insult Google.
. I agree that the iPad will feature in many TV shows and movies, the moment i saw the iPad i immediatly thought of CSI:Miami, it will fit perfectly in there no doubt,but in reality what it offers are things an iPhone can do and will do, i mean they run the very same OS so WTF is the point? The iPhone itself could revolutionize eBooks, Newspapers and Magazines being distributed digitaly, why buy another device that needs a dam laptop bag? Anyway theres no doubt its going to sell,thanks only to the Apple badge.
I dont like how Stephen Fry thinks he knows how we all are, the novelty of a UI for me wears off and then i just want functionality and tweaking, which this thing lacks. OS4.0 may solve somethings,but lack of USB, Multitasking (may come in OS4 though) and Flash is just pathetic on a device like it.

Thanks Hobbster. Have a bril one too.
Invictus was advertised on the TV last night, and there's also ads in the papers.
Back to phones, this article taken from GSMArena; there's a video link regarding this on their site as well:
'All HTC HD2 smartphones out there pack 576MB of RAM
We have caught HTC disabling features in their phones before and in order to get them back you had to use some tricks. But this is just ridiculous. As it turns out all HTC HD2 units actually have 576MB of RAM, but only 448MB of those are available to the users.
It's a bit more understandable when they disable a GPS or an FM radio unit - you only need new software to utilize it, but we just can't figure out why would HTC hide a big chunk of RAM on their flagship. And heck it wasn't even the only feature disabled by default on the HD2 powerhouse. Remember the Wi-Fi 802.11n support that you have to enable on your own?
So, it's not only the units headed for T-Mobile USA which pack more RAM, but all HTC HD2 smartphones out there actually have 576MB aboard. You only have to unlock the hidden amount of memory using some custom ROMs.
You can do that by going to the xda-developers forum and read this thread. Then get the needed ROM up and running on your HD2 and enjoy the extra amount of RAM memory. Just be careful, because it will most probably void your warranty.'

Taken from The Register:
'Mozilla unfurls first mobile Firefox
'Fennec' on Maemo
Mozilla has officially released the first mobile Firefox, a condensed version of the popular open-source browser that runs on Nokia's Maemo platform.
Codenamed 'Fennec,' Firefox 1.0 for Maemo was previously available only as a beta. Mozilla calls this the first mobile web browser to accomodate add-ons - long a staple of the Firefox desktop browser. More than 40 add-ons are already available for the new mobile platform, including AdBlock Plus, the most famous of Firefox extensions.
The inaugural mobile Firefox also offers Mozilla's Awesome Bar, a way of quickly returning to sites you've visited in the past; the new Weave Sync tool, for synchronizing bookmarks and other Firefox settings across multiple machines; and, yes, those familiar Firefox tabs.
Two days ago, when it pushed out a third release candidate for Firefox mobile 1.0, Mozilla removed support for an Adobe plug-in, saying it had "degraded the performance of the browser to the point where it didn't meet our standards." Instead, the open sourcers urge you to install a YouTube Enabler add-on that will at least let you watch Googlevideos on the browser.
The new browser runs on Maemo 5, which means your only smartphone option is the Nokia 990. You can download the browser here.
Mozilla is currently alpha testing a version of Fennec for Window Mobile, and it has prototyped Firefox browsers for Google's Android platform. But it has no intention of building anything for the iPhone. Apple, you see, doesn't allow interpreted code of the Jesus Phone, and Mozilla won't waste time trying to put Firefox where it's "not wanted."

I agree with you! Apple is just riding on its brand popularity without trying too hard and some people will gladly elevate their products to the highest level for no reason.
@wanqs
I just saw that thread. I guess it is safe to say that the P1 is a legend

... and congratulations to big Nokia!! What a stunning quarter?!
When you consider the loss on their venture with Siemens this becomes even more incredible.
Well done indeed!!
Now, sort out your ill equipped phones!
