Wasp T12 phone for Android

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

As a big fan of Chris Morris and Charlie Brooker, I’m still living in the hope that one day someone will launch the Wasp T12 (from Nathan Barley) for real.

If they can’t then at least create a keypad with an extra big number five on it (“the most used number”). Any developers out there ready to create a Wasp T12 theme for Android?

Now even your cat can program…

I was actually really disappointed that the cat didn’t start coding. Which reminds me of a sketch by Paul Merton which took the p*** out of the ‘abdominiser’ and Rap’Tou adverts in the UK. He had a piece of flat foam (the ‘abominator’) with some holes in it which claimed to be able to do all sorts of amazing things including ‘teach your cat to play the piano’.

If you can’t find a picture of the G1…

… just write ‘T-Mobile G1 phone’ under any HTC phone and copy and paste the ‘Google’ logo on it… ta-da!

That seems to be the attitude of the Telegraph online who despite being ahead of the curve on the release of the G1 in the UK still can’t seem to get the right phone for their pictures…

Bulls*** bingo for today’s press reviews of the G1

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

Feel free to print off and cut out our free ‘T-Mobile G1 Launch Special Edition’ Bu***hit Bingo padtm (below) and see how high each review of the new T-Mobile G1 ‘scores’.

The rules are simple… if a press review mentions a word in one of the boxes then cross it out. You get one point for each box crossed, 3 points for a completed row or column, 5 points for one of the two diagonals and 10 points for some obscure pattern that looks like that bit at the start of the Beijing Olympics…

Good Luck!

* This should be accompanied by phrases such as ‘no match for’, ‘lacks the interface of’, etc.
** Extra point if it is accompanied by some random quote from Jack Gold
*** this should ideally be accompanied by words such as iPhone, Windows Mobile or RIM/Blackberry (e.g. “this is not the iPhone killer that many hoped it would be”)
