Threw this one together quickly for UK iPhone users….

Simple application using the excellent iUI css and javascript framework which uses traffic data provided by the BBC (for now) in a nice simple iPhone friendly interface… no bells and whistles but it does exactly what it says on the tin

Hopefully many more to come

As of around 2am this morning it appears that MSN have lifted the block preventing @mac.com addresses connecting to the MSN Messenger network…
Looks like I wasn’t the only person annoyed by this…

Apple announced the iPhone in the UK Today … Yay!

Part of me really wants an iPhone (being the Apple fanatic that I am) - it’s a pretty cool device that I must admit I think I would find useful on a day-to-day basis

However there are a number of failings;

• Uses the O2 network
• EDGE not 3G
• Unlimited data… isn’t.
• 30% Edge Coverage is useless
• Can’t install 3rd party apps
• Can’t use SSH
• Can’t use it as a modem with my mac

Help!

“Important service announcement: Because of a recent system update, you must change the e-mail address that you use to sign in to Windows Live(TM) Messenger. Until you change your e-mail address, you won’t be able to use Windows Live(TM) Messenger.

This is what greeted me this morning when opening Adium to connect me to the plethora of IM networks out there, some of which I use daily for work (MSN included sadly!)

I use the same eMail address for most personal stuff - it ends with mac.com - it seems that MSN is no longer willing to have users on their network with anything that isn’t a hotmail.com address mac.com addresses.

To add insult to injury the webpage that the obnoxious message I received pointed me to responds with “This page could not be displayed”… how helpful.

I remain contactable on any rational IM network… Now that I’ve discovered it only affects mac.com addresses I’ll potentially get around to creating a new MSN name at some point but I do not want one that contains the word hotmail!
