ABC goes iPhone
Looks like we'll be taking another hit on our iPhone data plan. The ABC Mobile Service has launched with news and weather updates, but will later provide video and audio. We particularly like the movie screening times, which allowed us to nominate our cinemas and see what's on and when, with David and Margaret's ratings. So sad that the first movie review it showed us was for The Secret Life of Bees. We liked the novel (despite the fact that the New York Times called it "maudlin") but the movie version is "unconvincing" and "takes the sugary options" according to D&M, and the New York Times calls it "a familiar and tired fable of black selflessness, in which African-Americans take time out from their struggle against oppression to lift the battered self-esteem of white people who have the good sense not to be snarling bigots".
