Cheers guy's,appeciate the effort.

Can't see the waving hand remote catching on mind you.

Yeah it seems abit novelty rather than practicle. Looks like a playstation eye toy.

Good show People

I think the wrist phone is quite cool, and I was surprised that no one mentioned Knight Rider and the Hoff, which I think this phone harks back to, but was even more surprised to actually see KITT at the show who you faded to right after those phones.

Yeah, so I'm a kid of the eighties getting all nostalgic. I might have to get one of those phones - but maybe when they get a bit smaller.

Maybe not too much innovation, but very interesting nonetheless - thank you.

Cheers,

Martin.

Thanks for the comments and kind emails/Pms we have been sent regarding the coverage. It makes the hard work all the more worth it when its actually useful to you guys.

Myself and Chris have spent the last two days in San Diego in 80 degree sunshine to relax and we feel much better now. We have one last night over here in Vegas so the hang over will just make the 17 hour trip back that little bit longer, but worth it!

Glad so many enjoyed the fast turnaround and content.

I just wonder how long the battery's going to last with full 3G and bluetooth!

It was quoted as 16 hours with heavy use.

Just got round to watching this.

Having had a bit of 'man flu' myself, and having to 'put on a show' for 30 new pupils every hour, I know just how difficult it is to concentrate and work, especially in front of an audience, so cheers guys.

Wow the watch phone looks really cool, I somehow can see alot of people getting really frustrated with the hand gesture remote though.

But the end was funny with phil bending over right in front of the camera hahaha
