Chris Atkins: 'Sometimes I want to punch people who make technology'

,----[ Quote ]
| What's your favourite piece of technology, and 
| how has it improved your life?
| 
| Without question, my favourite piece of 
| technology is my Nokia n900 phone. It is super 
| amazing and pisses all over the iPhone. The 
| ingenious bit about it is that it's open 
| source, so you can program it to do whatever 
| you want. I used to do some work with Linux 
| when I ran a post-production house, so we've 
| worked out how to make it do all sorts of 
| funky things. Some boffins who we do some work 
| with have connected it up to a Rollodex, so as 
| you spin through your contacts, a motor spins 
| through the rollodex. And they canibalised an 
| old Speak & Spell, so you can send texts that 
| sound like ET. It's the best thing ever.

Nokia N900 Comparison Pictures

| The Nokia N900 is a special device. Itâs the
| first phone running on the Maemo 5 OS. Geeks
| love the N900. Itâs the power of Linux in the
| palm of your hands. The device like  a hackerâs
| tool, itâs not perfect , but does somethings
| wonderfully well â web browsing for instance.
| Presenting an  exclusive photo gallery
| comparing the N900 to some popular devices in
| the market !
