Was the video interpolated to full screen?
Either way it seems a bit odd not to test the phone with a video the same size as the screen's resolution, no?

I think you're on a fishing trip, so do your own justification as to whether it's a fair test, an unfair test (in either direction), whether it was a deliberate fix etc etc.
(Personally I doubt it would change the numbers, but you feel you're onto something here, so run with it).
Ideally you'd test with a range of videos... But then I'd look at at range of different results from different websites. rather than relying on one.
IMO, Endgaget isn't exactly the most scientifically rigorous website when it comes it testing. But then what do you expect from a blogging site that is mostly recycled press releases...?

Its sunny somewhere.
Monkey Ball... it uses the accelerometer, so you tilt to control the character. Not sure I like this particular game, but it shows some potential as a gaming platform...
WHAT!!!

Does that come with a microscope?!!
I'm impressed with the screen res and rendering (way better than my 'umble phone), but those buttons at the bottom look a bit ugly for an Apple design, no?
I should have added that I'm not a gamer, so my opinion on that doesn't count for much.
e2a... thinking about buying Crash Bandicoot... have you got it? Worth it?

Its a shame that most bulletin boards aren't designed with the iPhone in mind.
The"
With a big fat finger you need to zoom in on it first else you end up selecting something else nearby 8 times out of 10.
They're fairly minimalist! But I like that. It doesn't distract from the content you want to read.
(Conversely, I really hate MS approach to base UI elements cos' there's always bloody branding on the screen - if only in the Start button - and, by default, garish colours too.)

The"" on Urban is easy to select with a mouse.

I can just about hit it unzoomed, about 80% of the time. Annoying when I miss though, cos' then it's a rather dull back-reload job. Second attempt, I'll always zoom.

Why should 'most boards' be designed for the truly microscopic percentage of iPhone users?
You can always use the stripped down skin option which works for the vast majority of mobile users.

Didn't say they should.
Just that as a iPhone user its a shame they aren't.
According to this article:

maybe one day they will be, when the mouse is dead and pointy pointy fingers is the norm.
(ALthough i suspect FPS games will keep the mouse alive)

I love Remote. I have my computer set up through my telly. So controlling iTunes from the sofa with an easy interface is a joy.
Also as it's wireless and not infrared no line of sight needed. Scare your friends by starting scary music in the room they are in whilst you are upstairs
Just wish I had wireless speakers in my bedroom connected to the computer downstairs now

I'd happily put a tenner down on the mouse being alive and well in 3-5 years!

Me too tbh. The author has forgotten business use for starters. Our lot begrudge paying for mice let alone fancy devices.
Tell your employer you've got RSI, and you'll have a "fancy device" pretty fast. Ergonmically, mice are terrible...! IMO, trackballs are much better if you're using a pointing device 8 hours a day...
Should be ok now. (Looks like flickr remapped the pic locations overnight.)

But just about all users of Google Maps can do that already, no? What's the difference?(I'll stop soon I promise
Now this is nice. Location aware Google search client:
The best location services gizmo I saw was on the Treo 500 on Vodafone where you could get updated "what's on" listings of gigs/restaurants/cinemas etc closest to you.
Because its all in one app with more sophisticated searching, rather than switching between a browser and the Google Maps App...?
Yeah, not quite sure how that's an improvement on the existing maps app, which has business search already built in?
Ease-of-use, etc...
