Of course not. When they covered the industry event at which Nokia
launched the N800, a whole new form factor for personal communication,
they didn't even blink. Instead they devoted tons of time to a dull
little telephone whose only interesting feature was that it didn't have
mechanical buttons.

Does anybody take BBC technology reporting seriously anymore? I stopped
paying attention when they provided advertising services for some
struggling PC-to-PC comms company who'd just discovered X tunnelling
through ssh.
