Aha! Actually I've been back in work for ages, but not with breathe, which

is just my webmail (and very good it is too, now that they've taken the bug

off the  homepage which prevented you getting from your mailbox after you'd

signed up ;-0 ). Amusingly, I have now just stopped being at work to

concentrate on being a temporary man of leisure, and boy am I looking

forward to it. Thanks, tho'


but back to your points -


WAP - totally overhyped at the mo, and not a hell of a lot more useful

currently than SMS (i've always thought it a great shame that e-comm doesn't

use SMS more), although this is more to do with what you can actually get

contentwise. . . once everyone's had a little breather to work out what the

value-add content is, then it'll pick up. like telly finally is. .  ;-0


i-mode - don't know much about it, but it sounds like G2.5, and i think

we're probably better off waiting for G3. Useful for places outside dear

Europe, where they don't have quite the networks.


found out a really really great thing the other day, which i'm going to

repeat at great length to the nearest daily mail reader/tory/eurosceptic. .

. the whole European mobile connectivity standard thang, which so many vaunt

to put us technologically (and perhaps eventually economically) ahead of the

US was sponsored by and pushed by. . . .the EU. All power to em, and let's

join the Euro the moment i get back from holiday ;-0


have a good weekend, unplug your computers and get your frisbees out.


oh and dee - you're totally right - i'm not net-a-porter's target consumer,

as employers have consistently lamented. . .


ciao,
