I'm not sure about useful, but I'm happy to see that Nokia had done SOMETHING right enough that this kind of opportunity could happen. It should happen MORE often, instead of less often as is usually the case. I'd rather see Nokia compete instead of flopping about uselessly as usual lately.

I'm curious to know what kind of stream was it that the iP* couldn't handle it. It boggles me. Is it just a problem with iOS in particular that pretty much everyone else COULD watch (i.e. could an Android or Maemo with Flash have watched it? or was it in some stream format like OGG that maybe the iOS device didn't know how to use, but ANYONE else could?). It is pretty funny but I'm technically curious now.

It's my fault. My sense of humour appears to be experiencing intermittent failures today... I'm off to look around some shops with the missus.

If I was posting this on The Register I'd include Paris, because she'd recognise a shop when she sees one too.
