I had to google that. Shameful.
Looks rather nifty. Now I'm almost wanting a new phone.

It's very very nice
Free upgrade and a better contract! Plus, I downloaded an app for it yesterday called vibrator... guess what it does?

Vibrates?
If it also does the washing up, I may have to get one.

I have two boys for that
Why would I need the phone to do it for me? ;)
(stimpy, Tue 13 Oct 2009, 21:18, Reply)

For when the boys are washing up for you?
(Which they will, if they want to stay in your good books, surely?)

We take it in turns really
Whoever is around does it. Phone is great for browsing in bed while they're doing it though.

Can't say fairer than that.
Always seems to be me who does it around here. My nails are shot, both from that and the guitar.

Best. Name. Ever.
My phone is called Nyuu. As is my iPod.

cheers for that Mal x
but seriously, what else could i call it?
What with me being called Blaireau and all...
my iPod is called thealpod on account of me being called Al in the real world.

not sure how i feel about being called an evil apple clone... there's definitely only one of ME and that's for sure!

Evil apple clone
I can't stand them. Some people can use them, but I haven't found a single piece of Apple software (bar the iPhone OS) than I can actually use. iTunes is a particular target of my ire, particularly as it's so ubiquitus. Anyone who wants to use my computer instantly gets confused when they try to play music and can't find the blasted program.

They may be rolling out iPhones in place of Blackberries where I work for the managers.
My boss's may "miraculously vanish"...

I can lend a hammer
iPhone is NOT acceptable for enteprise work. Thankfully, I have a pretty big influence in what my work uses... Nokia, Blackberry (well, RIM) - yes. iPhone, not a chance in hell. No matter which middle manager has one on his personal contract.

It's not hammertime.
For some reason, they fascinate me o.O and I want to play with it. My boss is currently very attached to his Blackberry (and gets upset if we hide it) but they don't hold the same interest for me.

They have some nifty tools
Remote wipe without having to pay a stupid premium to Apple for the service is a big factor. The iPhone encryption is pretty shoddy as well, and although the risk is stupidly small and probably nobody could find anything that could seriously damage us on the phone, it's not a risk we'd like to take.

Edit - also, not having to worry about people buying apps and music using the company iTunes account, even though we could track it, would be rather nice as well.

A shame - you could giggle at people's musical preferences!
Like if someone buys Rick Astley's Greatest Hits.
