| Poll Shows Brits Still Struggling With Technology Posted: 17 Jan 2010 05:36 AM PST A recent survey of 1,000 UK residents conducted by Lewis PR found that we are still a bunch technophobic generally depressing and deserve our computers and mobile phones snatched from our grasp. Highlights include:
* 50 percent were unable to identify Steve Jobs (10 percent thought it was a union leader, 20 per cent of Division Two football and 20 percent had no idea) More positively by 88 percent knew that Bill Gates was, even if two percent thought it was one of the Great Train robbers. Daftness aside, there is a point here. “Technology plays an increasing role in our lives but it is always striking how little information on some of its key figures, gadgets and aspects,” said Lewis PR Adeyeri Eb. “Although many people knew the right answers, a substantial minority had absolutely no idea.

| HTC HD2 Update Windows Mobile 7 Phone Posted: 16 Jan 2010 05:28 PM PST A couple of times last year a few bits of information has emerged about the possibility of obtaining the HD2 HTC Windows Mobile 7 Update as it becomes available. From what we understand the launch WM7 will not be anytime soon and will probably towards the end of the year.
The guys on the XDA Developers had one of their members to ask questions about the possibility and a response came back saying … “Thank you for your question on HD2. What we are doing it ROM Upgrades from our website, however 6.5 Windows Mobile has been out 2 months and Windows Mobile 7 has not yet been developed. This wont be out until next November at the earliest. But when it is available, it will be a free download”. Like the two previous cases (linked above) for information on the HD2 get Windows Mobile 7 Finally, it is also not very good evidence that the device does run a 1GHz processor and Snapdragon is a high-end, so I agree to the device receiving the update later.
