Right, im off to silverstone this weekend but got a quick F1 related WM question.
For other races this season I've watched the times during the testing and qualifying off the formula1.com site and for the testing ive watched the live tv stream from ITV.com.
Now obviously as im there this could be an issue as im not taking my laptop with me so wondered if theres anyway of viewing these streams/times on my VarioII?
Anyone ever tried this as im doubting pocket internet explorer will do the job :S
Here's a freeware called F1 Mobile Season 2008, it gives you pretty good info on the circuits, drivers, time etc...
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-f1-mobile-season-2008-v3-03.html
Streaming F1 on my phone... boy would i love that
I was there for the test session last week, watch out for those die hard Button fans...
hmm just found out that http://www.itv-f1.com/VideoLive.aspx is the url for ITV's live stream but cant see that that will work on PIE... dont think im that lucky lol
GO LOUIS!!!!
You might try feeding that ASPX file to CorePlayer and see if it works. Unfortunately there is no trial for it. I had been using Coreplayer to stream video from my Windows Media Center and it worked OK. I really needed HDSPA for it to stream well tho.
I've had great luck with my Slingbox and my Kaiser. Managed to watch the last couple of holes at the US Open from my desk and was VERY popular with my co-workers, LOL.
The beauty of Slingbox is that the content is from your own cable or satellite service that you already paid for. So for your lucky Europeans with the high tech F1 coverage, it'll be just like you're watching at home. No subscriptions, just ~$150 USD for the box and ~$30 for the Pocket PC player.

I going to buy a new game console for my son's birthday. He wants a 360, but when I looked at the PS3, it seems to be a better buy.
There are several "cons" about the 360 that make me think the PS3 is a better buy.
No built in power supply
No HD movie support (Blu Ray)
No built in wireless
You have to pay for online gaming?
Ring of death?
Noisy operation?
No bluetooth (but do you need it?)
Are just some things that make me question purchasing it over a PS3.
This old fart needs some young gamers advise.
Why don't you just buy him a new high tech computer? It's much better and the games that are for xbox are mostly also for PC and you can play and connect to xbox players via windows live or something like that. I saw in gizmodo lol. But A computer is a much better buy. But from what you say,
Xbox 360:
Better gaming
Better controls
Better online play
PS3:
Better graphics
Tilt control (no one really uses it lol)
Wi-Fi
Bluetooth
Can fit a regualar drive into it
PC:
ALL OF THE ABOVE
I got him a laptop 2 birthdays ago, but I doubt it has the horse power to run any games he wants.
I think his motivation for a XBox is the game Halo. He has several friends playing that game.
[Retracted by author due to the degrading quality of this thread]
PS3 has a brighter future then 360 and in about a year will be the dominating system
Take it from me I have all 3 current system and I play my ps3 90% of the time
I have all three and use the PS3 about 85% of the time. I even let my xbox live run out bc I just dont use it much anymore. I have started to play the WII a little more. Plus blue rays are awesome on my 47 and 63 inch 1080p tvs!

To get a PC that would be on par with the PS3 or even the 360 would be very expensive, much more that either console costs.
The games argument is a bit out dated. True exclusives are becoming more and more rare, most are just temporary. The 360 got FFXII and PS3 is getting Bioshock, though some titles won't move like Halo and Metal Gear.
On the hardware side, the PS3 can do more (bluray, linux, web browser, bluetooh, wi-fi) out of the box without hacking or other accessories.
For online play, the 360 has more people that play online. It's been building that user base for two console generations. The PS3 is just getting started with that.
I have a PS3, have one friend with a 360 and another with both. In the end it comes down to what you want to do with the console. If your son has a lot of friends with 360s that play each other a lot, he may feel left out with a PS3 if he likes to play online too. I've never been much interested in online gaming (it's not usually a friendly environment to a more casual player), so it doesn't bother me that I'm left out. My console can do more anyway

I must argue that point. I've built a great PC for about $500. 4gb RAM, 500gb HDD, dvd-rw, custom led case. It's not that difficult. But my point still stands. The xbox 360 is superior in every way for online gaming. I would only get the PS3 if you're interested in titles such as MGS (Metal Gear Solid). But I also prefer the Wii. That's always a creative choice. And now it's getting even better with MotionPlus coming out.
i have both the elite and ps3. For Online experience I would say has to be elite at the moment value for money has be ps3 blu-ray, bluetooth, online free etc. Ps3 has the potential to be a much better games console then the xbox whether this potential is relised that is another matter.
i have always been a sony, always n nvr wanted/hated microsoft, but no one has a ps3, and the ONLY thing better is the graphics LATER on cuz sony announced that their games r yet to its fullest potential but, again no one has a ps3, the gameplay is so much better, ill just wait for ps4 and get that and its soooooooooooo much cheaper, i thnk the fixed the ring of death, on later versions and now wit the nexflx buy and different packages just get the 360, i love my ps3 but i dont play it much, only for the graphics and its also used for blu ray so i use for that also, and im sure he will want it just in time for Gears of war 2 and UFC undisputed
The more I look into this, the more it's looking like my son is getting a Xbox......... and I'm getting a PS3.

Awesome! Be sure to come back and post your PSN ID!
the PS3 is simply a better system known world wide. u have already named a couple of the better features urself. the XBox 360 has NOTHING better than the PS3. it also has NOTHING that the PS3 doesnt already have. and it simply doesnt have some of the things that the PS3 has also. lets start with the grafix. to be honest... they arent really worth comparing but i have owned them both and i have sold my XBox 360 because i was in so much of a rush to get rid of the crappy system. ive owned both the same titles on XBox and PS3 and noticed that the PS3 games looked way better and into detail. u have to purchase the wireless XBox controller.... all of the PS3 controllers are wireless. the XBox has a bulky wired head set for their internet chat... while with the PS3 (since it has built-in bluetooth technology) u can use the same small bluetooth headset that u would use with ur phone ON THE GAME CONSOLE. how convenient and universal the PS3 makes ur wireless headset. oh i forgot.... the XBox has a wireless headset also.... but u cant pair it to ur phone, HA . as for online gaming. who can really compare the online gaming??? thats so false what the guy on the first page said. the online gaming performance ALWAYS depends on ur broadband connection, not the console itself. so the online gaming is completely the same. BUT!!!!! XBox u have to pay monthly.... sony made theirs free of charge to have fun. the built-in SixAxis is a really cool feature in the PS3 controller if u do choose to use it. i myself use it very little, but it is still a nice feature to have. its xtremely fun and makes u feel more into the game if u ask me. just like the Nintendo Wii. the XBox does non of this. the XBox has no built-in cooler and the system runs VERY HOT!! run it too long..... and its gone! trust me. i've owned 3 of the peices of crap and its true. u have to buy and external system cooler and it still doesnt work cuz my second XBox over heated too... and once again, i was introduce (FOR THE SECOND TIME) to the "Red Rings OF Death". and the XBox doesnt have to over heat to give you the "Rings OF Death". just simply try to turn it on one day and u will see them... TAA DAAA lol. u have to turn it on and off about 30 times to finally get it to come on. that IF u didnt already over heat it. cuz then its GONE COMPLETELY. the PS3 always turns on. ALWAYS without a problem. remember this popular slogan? well this time lets point it toward the "Ring OF Death"...... "ONLY ON THE XBOX 360" lmao. trust me bro. i dont think anyone else can tell u any better. ive owned them BOTH and the PS3 is just way better. everyone knows. even those people that try to lie and say the PS3 is worse. even they know the PS3 is better. numbers never lie so take a look for urself at the console sales. the Nintendo Wii sold the most.... PS3 sold alot right underneath it..... the XBox sold not even 1 Forth compared to both consoles. everyone knows it for its bad rep. and now that bill gates retired and the head guy for it games is gone too...... what future do they have now??? and look at it this way man. if all the other reasons are not good enuff... the PS3 is STILL THE CHEAPEST BLUE-RAY DVD PLAYER U WILL EVER FIND! simple as that. enuff said yet?? sorry for the long post. just wanted to point u in the right direction. u get what u pay for. dont buy something that not going to last, let alone entertain you.

here we go again with the "nobody owns a PS3" talk again...... omg lol. when u go online to play a game and u enter a room to play. its always full. xbox is always full too. alot of people play online. so how can u compare that system to that other garbage system THAT HAD TO COME OUT WITH AN ELITE VERSION to fix only SOME OF ITS MAJOR BUG ISSUES. man that 360 is wack. just telling the truth and keeping it honest. besides.... u say nobody owns a PS3???? numbers never lie man.... numbers never lie. nobody has a 360 if u ask me. i remember when it first came out. nobody lined up outside with lines wrapped about the building, waiting for them to open so they could buy one. and i remember everywhere i went, they always had them on shelves trying to sell them. on the other hand.... it was very difficult to get my hands on a PS3. mann........ that thing sold like CANNED P*SSY.... u thought i was gone say hot cakes huh. hhaahaha

PS3 did not dominate when it first came out...no one bought it due to its price
Now with the pricedrop and expansion of games, PS3 is the dominating system
I have owned both so here is my take on it:-
No built in power supply - a pain as its big and needs to be kept cool
No HD movie support (Blu Ray) - will be an issue in a few years
No built in wireless - means you need to keep it near to a socket - pain
You have to pay for online gaming? - con as ps3 is free
Ring of death? - yep it will happen to you as everyone i know has had it. Mine went after 1 year and it was a real pain to send back and get repaired but MS did fix it for free it around in 2 weeks. They replaced the motherboard and the CD drive as that was also going wrong. Very Poor for a year old machine.
This was the reason I traded it in for a Wii once MS sent it back
Noisy operation? YES IT IS NOISY compared to the wisper of a PS3
No bluetooth (but do you need it?) No use for it except controllers
PS3 now has plenty of good cheap and 2nd hand games, IMO it looks better, controllers have built in battery that last much longer, itssilent, blu ray, wifi, free online. PS3 wins.
I have both and I use my Xbox for gaming and the ps3 for watching movies. Come this fall you'll be able to save xbox games to harddrive so youll have faster load times and it lifts the limitation on the dvd storage, im sure sony will eventually follow suit. Of course xbox live isnt free but it has less lag than the ps3. But id see which system more of his friends has bc he will get more out of it(i.e playing online and borrowing games).

As far as the Games on HDD goes, if your 360 is modded you can already do that.
A majority of games for PS3 write large amounts of Data when you first load the game to the HDD giving it much faster access
ONLY DOWNFALL OF PS3 - IT WILL NEVER BE MODDED!!!! Many have tried, none have succeeded. Sony seems to have learned from the PSP
I have a couple spb games but I'm very bored with them. Does anyone know of any really fun and/or addictive games for the Tilt/Kaiser? I have a good amount of downtime at work and I'm always on my phone. I NEED some new games. Any recommendations? What's your favorites?
New Games
Don't know if this helps, but I really like Resco Defender. It's a really addicting tower defence game. Download the trial first and see if you like it, because some people think it's boring while others really enjoy it. http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/defender/default.asp Hope that helps,

DUKE
Duke Nukem 3D!!! I loved it on PC and someone ported it to PPC. It's exactly the same thing, even with the Atomic Edition add-on! Try looking for "Duke Nukem on my Kaiser" on youtube and you'll find all the instructions on how to get it. Runs best with the 3D htc classaction drivers. Come get some!

I have now come OBSESSED with wanting a 2nd gen itouch! I absolutely HATE apple, but the itouch is great!!!
so many apps, games, emulators, ports, EVERYTHING being developed for it, it's just what I need!
---
on a side note, I will and always will love PC, and never Mac. But I think the reason why is because PC is more commonly used, therefor it's more compatible with everything, more software and games available for it.
I'm sure that if it was the other way around, I would prefer Mac over PC, but good thing it isnt the other way around lol.

back on topic. Has anyone seen the graphics for the game fastline?
I know what you mean
I got the wife an Iphone, and while I dont care for the phone itself, (my Tilt is way more capable as a portable computer, not to mention customizable, etc, etc) as a portable media/game machine, the thing does rock. I like the screeen size, and the accelerometer use in games. Tilting the phone to steer a car is pretty cool.
If I was around open WiFi more, I might jump, but then I'd be back to carrying 2 devices again, beside the fact that I've got better things to do with the money right now.
Ugh, apple is so over Rated. lol

I agree, but unfortunatly it's one of the best devices, so developers create games and apps for it. It plays quake 3 at like 30fps!
here is a racing game called fastline, the graphics are awesome!:

need it too
me too, I love that game and moron test is so funny too!!
This the game where youhave flights coming in from different directions on the screen and you have to navigate them to a landing stirp or off the screen? (hazy memory, sorry!).
If so then I've definitely played it on either a touch Pro or the Xperia, so I'm sure it's available somewhere... god knows where I found it though.

For all how can't wait anymore.
The game as flash version is not as good as the orginale.

Best Game ever and no one tried to make it ?
and the lack of a decent flight control game for win mo sums up in a nutshell why my next phone will be apple built.

iphone is missing a lot of basic, fundamental features. up here they're portraying 3gs as a huge innovation because it can do copy-paste.
why not get something like a psp if gaming is really that important?
