Bear in mind that a lot of phones get their own specialised outer casing compared to the standard version, so I doubt it would be much work to just make a small modification such as the socket.

Take for example the HTC Hero: Standard Version and the American Version.

Because most people building websites are techies their idea of something new and exciting is completely different to the everyday person.

I recently attended a lecture by Toby Moore on the cool curve, it helps explain why things like twitter get popular.

It's not really the case on whether there is a system out there already, chances are there are plenty that could be likely candidates to explode in popularity; all it takes is the bandwagon to start.

I recently attended a quite interesting lecture by Toby Moore that talked about the 'Cool Curve', which essentially says that things just usually have to be there at the right time; there were plenty of better services than Twitter before Twitter existed, but people's comfort moved up a little bit which moved twitter into the cool curve.

This also the case with the XBOX360 and PS3, if you have a quick search on google there only seems to be a handful of games that run at 1080p natively; most games are merely up scaled from lower resolutions.

Hello margins my old friend.

Because websites don't have mobile versions of their sites .. oh wait.

Strangely enough they've actually gone up recently for AT&T and O2, with their 'unlimited' data plans being scrapped.

Although to be fair the product hasn't really changed much, if at all; they're just being more honest about the limit this time around.

Yes they have pictures, but no photos.

After admiring the new purdy graphics on most games for about 10 minutes, I usually go back and turn the graphics way down to make sure I have a steady FPS; I get so immersed in games after about 20 minutes of gameplay I don't notice whether or not my shadows are perfectly smooth around the edges.

As long as the graphics aren't absolutely terrible to the point where it's distracting, I'll be happy playing on the lower settings.

It's a commonly believed myth that searing meat keeps moisture in, see this Wikipedia article.

This only applies to people that buy into fads of fashion, good clothes are timeless and will always look good no matter when you bought them; unless you bought them when you were a few sizes smaller that is.

So you mean like having 2 separate drives?

You don't have to upgrade your PC to keep playing games at the same quality; 'Full quality' on a console is the same quality, so it's no different from a PC.

Well I don't know about that, my iPod classic is only about 3 years old and the battery lasts about 8 hours when it's not even playing music; this of course wouldn't be a problem if I could replace the battery.

I can't imagine something that has a much more advanced screen would fair any better than a simple music player.

Damn accents get me every time.
