iPod Video running Rockbox

I invested in an iPod Video over the summer and the first thing I did once I got it was to replace that crappy Apple firmware with Rockbox - MP3 support baby! So far it's pretty good although the battery life is bad as expected.

I love the wifi enabled home

Saturday morning is the one day I get to lie in. It's awesome. And thanks to the crazy technology that's available these days, it's even better.

This morning I woke up, dozed for a bit, then decided to watch a movie. After this I checked my emails, checked eBay, had a word with my sister on the phone, chatted to some friends on messenger then put some music on. Then I got out of bed.

Not actually got out of bed, I mean, I never moved from under the covers. Thanks to a combination of wireless and phones I didn't have to move. It's debatable whether I even need my phone now I have SIP software on my laptop.

And thanks to VNC I can control what my desktop with all my music on is doing from bed too.

Now all I need to do is find some way to bring work here and exercise while in bed and as far as I'm concerned I never ever need to get up again :p.

What lets down the k800i

I love my k800i, it's an awesome phone. That said, it's feature list is not the most complete list ever. Here is what would make it the perfect phone...

A torch. This is actually a really useful feature. Whether your going through the park or down a darkened hallway, sometimes you end up using your screen anyway.

Multiple call queue. I'm pretty sure this is actually my service provider but I'm going to list it anyway.

Silent profiles. I want to be able to ignore people if I choose to.
