Looking north west (Millennium eye -Big Ben)
I also had a chance to poke around the Jam Factory one of the locations I had scouted for the Bat cave. JB has a top floor terrace with a 360 degree of London's skyline. Breathtaking!! What you lose on the straights you make up on the corners. The view was awesome and made me fall in love with London all over again. Especially with all the pre Halloween & Guy Fawkes fireworks on display.
For non locals - from Halloween to Guy Fawkes (or till demand drops) is a period that every yob & his dog will try make as many attempts to irate me by setting off as many Rockets, Screeches and Crackles as possible in my immediate or just close enough proximity to be a hazard.
Again I notice how every bedroom in London seems to be 5 X the size of mine.

JB throws a Halloween party
I great time was had by all, met loads of interesting people and had some really decent conversation spanning:
- cultural differences
- first impressions of London
- why my XDA is the best device in its space
- security in South Africa
- Sri Lanka vs. the Maldives
- the source of the Thames
- Louis Vuitton's Bond street turnover
- the Euro debate & unification of Europe as well as hearing an informed perspective on the UK's stance on the Euro from a Frenchman
- discussion around iPod vs. Sony Walkman and their software
- my complete lack of any dance skills
- the spectacular view from JB's penthouse terrace and architecture.

By the way, Germany & Spain are on the line and they want their architects back???

XDA Exec
I've had my XDA Exec for a month now & have been reserving judgement on it until I have given it a thorough working over. If you are unsure of what an XDA is see here , In short its a handy device developed by HTC a brilliant Malaysian based company that are delivering on promises made by film & commercial directors over the last couple of decades. HTC make the devices that are then branded up
by the local mobile providers (02 - XDA, Orange - MVP, etc).
About 3 years ago - After research into a device that could do everything I wanted (see below) it came down to choosing between the Sony Ericsson Palm OS P910 or the XDA. Did I stay brand loyal or try a relatively newcomer in the field? Ultimately the Newly released XDA II
won on:
Screen size - (how could Sony expect me to watch video on a screen that size?)
even if they had a real keyboard.
External memory - fork out for a Sony Memory stick Pro after spending
so much on regular side memory cards that were not compatible. I felt
let down.
Battery life - the XDA pipped the P900 in both talk & standby time.
It would mean a learning curve moving away from graffiti. Oh the XDA supports graffiti. We have a winner.
Recently my XDA II has been looking a bit dated. I should mention it still held a certain Millennium Falcon retro appeal to me plus its still way more advanced then devices that are being released today. Anyway I decide an upgrade may be in order. After a bit of research my winnowed choices were:
HP - built in GPS
Blackberry - Love their innovative development (RIM are the new Apple)
i.e. borrow good ideas & have a loyal use base.
Xda Exec - it looks big, clunky & none of my current software will work on it.
My requirements for a handheld are an all in one device that can acts as :
- a phone
- contacts management (could be used as full CRM system)
- music player
- video player (screen size important)
- Tube journey planner
- dictionary
- encyclopedia
- Tom Tom local & international route planner
- low-res camera
- communication centre inc. VOIP over wireless networks
- wirelessly email & web browse
- sms (or UK txt)
- game console (the usual solitaire, backgammon, chess as well as more
graphic intensive Tomb Raider or Quake) OK not really a requirement but
I was impressed that after installation on my XDA - the aforementioned
games worked
- multilanguage translator
- dictaphone
- able to note/blog/document/spreadsheet on the move
- portable office (runs windows mobile - word, excel, PowerPoint, etc.)
- had a decent battery life
- decent keyboard (I did not know this at the time as I was always v.
Happy with the XDA's virtual touch screen keyboard)
Pros over my previous XDA II
1. It has an integrated webcam as well as a regular 2mb camera (when you consider that my first digital camera (Sony Mavica) was only 2.3MB its not so bad. - I should mention that I have not used either camera, the webcam is supposed to be for 3G calls, video conferencing and the
such. If only I knew someone to interface with. The other camera's rez is to low , but I suspect that there may be a time that a pic will need to be taken and I won't have my camera at hand.
2. It has a real QWERTY keyboard (which as I write this on the tube I am loving more & more). Originally I favored my XDAII as it had no clunky appendages such as a QWERTY keyboard. After all mobile device keyboards are to small to be of any real use, (despite what users may think,they need) they were just a gimmick that would never catch on. Boy, was I wrong a real keyboard is great. I have even moved to stage 2 of usage. Stage 1 being trying to use both hands to wack out docs (picture a cartoon Arnold Schwarzenegger hunched over a tiny typewriter). I have reached stage 2 - the 2 thumb type. Great for walking & typing (surprisingly more useful than you would imagine) & stabilizing the X on bumpy tube rides, say for example the entire Victoria line.
3. It transforms from a mini laptop (so cool) to a tablet (touch screen) PC like my old X
4. It has built in wireless functionality oh so useful in a wireless
network environment. Ok my old X had an SD Wireless card, not 100%
reliable and to make SD slot available I would have to remove my
storage card.
5. The real keyboard
6. The earphone jack is 3.5 rather than the previous 2.5 so I can plug in regular audio headsets without an adapter that doesn't work very well.
7.A mini usb jack to connect and sync with a desktop (or laptop).
I'm guessing the 2 main barriers to it being heralded or marketed pro actively at a grass roots level or:
The price - Don't understand this. If you were to add up the cost of all the devices that the X could replace; Blackberry, mobile phone, PVP, MP3 Player, PSP & GPS device (ok I still need a GPS receiver). Also think of the space you are saving.
Ease of use - OK! you are going to have to actually engage your brain to use this device. It seems that more focus was placed on operation and functionality than intuitivity.
