is the US really the first to get an upgrade? Most of Samsungs phones are launched first elsewhere, and US versions later come with their own carrier specific versions. The plain Galaxy S is not on that chart, and it would have received the

out of interest, what would someone say if they had been spending the last year working at a job that required iOS apps that interface with a PHP backend? 0.5 years each?

I've recently purchased a WP7, initially the browser was horrible, now they've upgraded it to IE9 it's much better, but I've still noticed problems on some pages, most notable of which is the new version of the Facebook Touch site. It's muc

I find that Trance and other electronic music like the author listens to works well with coding, I listen to DI.FM's trance station all day/night while working despite the fact that I'm a big heavy metal fan and wouldn't normally listen to
