There I was sitting in my 'Advanced Sharepoint' training session, where we were being taught the blogging part of the software. The trainer said, well who reads blogs anyway? to which the wonderful Mrs Parker turned and said 'I read Damians'. - Cue an embarrassed Me.
Thanks Laura, and as promised, here is a blog dedicated to just you.

What is on my Blog? - 'gadgets and technology' she said
What's new in gadget land
As you may already know I ended up getting an iPhone despite being anti-apple and not wanting to jump on the apple bandwagon.
6 months on and am I happy with it?
I now have a HTC Desire....
Sitting in my windowsill at home, unused... and why?Because it's not an iPhone, I agree it's improved loads since my HTC Magic (still the 2nd best phone I have ever owned), with its multi-touch screen and fantastic camera (with flash), but it's still not there. So yes I am still using my iPhone, I did have a while where I couldn't use it however due to an issue around it crashing
Which meant a restore
... Which meant an upgrade to the firmware (3.1.3)
..... Which meant I couldn't Jailbreak
......... Which meant I couldn't unlock
............Which meant I couldn't use it on Orange
................Which meant it was quite useless really.
Luckily those geeky people in unlock land came to my rescue in the form of the Spirit Jailbreak, and a bit of effort meant I was able to unlock it again, so my iPhone is back up and working again.
What Next
The iPhone 4
Although you can now Jailbreak the iPhone 4. It's apparently the easiest Jailbreak yet (you can do if from the iPhones web browser - www.jailbreakme.com), but you can keep your iPhone 4.
I can't believe apple could release a device that doesn't work properly (you have to hold it a certain way). How do they fix this - they telll you to hold it a certain way and give everyone a 'free' case.
Come on Jobsy - You're not Microsoft. Absorb the cost and recall them - ALL, fix them and send out working ones.
As it shows I'm in no hurry to get the iPhone 4. In fact after that shambolic release, I don't think I'd touch another apple device, certainly not something that's only just been released. I'm not the sort of person to jump-on-the-bandwag......
Oh wait - I have an iPad
Damn, I've done it again, 64Gb Wi-Fi,3G pleasure.
Jailbroken !!!!There you go Laura !!!! an gadgety, techy, update.
