iPhone: what a lifesaver

Cunningly you can play people over the internet and make comments to each other as you play. I've had some good banter with opponents and it's fair to say there has been a fair bit of sledging going on. A well-timed "Miss you bastard" can reap dividends. I'm in good company as there are plenty of weirdos playing online. One kept telling me that he liked eating chicken and marmite...

Finally an incredible app is Internet Radio Box @59p which basically lets you listen to any internet radio station in the world and effectively turns your iPhone into a DAB radio:



I vowed to myself that I would not join the iPhone crowd but I gave in. Glad I did - it's a geek's dream. It seems to be capable of doing almost anything.
