Yes, very good, that still doesn't change the fact that a 4ins screen simply isn't up to some jobs. Yes, you can do truly astonishing things with smart phones. But for some tasks, a larger screen is always going to be needed.

That is all, the processing power is there, ram, OS and software is pretty much bob on. But the form factor simply cannot lend itself to some tasks, now plug it into a bigger screen and you're good to go however.


How very dare you! Watching HD content on a 640x480 class screen in glorious monophonic sound (1kHz-8kHz speaker response) is the pinnacle of of home cinema!

No, you're right. It's all horses for courses.

Simple solution: stereo headphones, and hold the screen closer to your face to simulate a 50" screen. Sorted.

Eh? What's Hugh Laurie/House got to do with my obviously fantastic idea?


He's just... er... giving it the thumbs up, obviously. In no way sarcastically, either, I mean look at his face... :lol:

OIC. I didn't really interpret that facial expression as sarcastic. :shrug:

Even though I know he's a horrible example of humanity, I idolise House for some reason...

I just keep waiting for him to come out with a blackadder-era-ism...

10 to go!

That would be pure, uncut win!

Don't forget Tim McInnery as some conniving, ass-kissing specialist that is constantly sucking up to Stephen Fry's consultant character.

Someone should write in and suggest it as a seasonal special for next year.

I bet loads of Bladder/House fans already have ;)

What we need then is a concerted campaign!

Maybe signing the letters "P.S. We know where you live." would add some weight to our plea? :lol:
