I thought I saw some folks doing stuff with satellite images on the US version – do you know how to get those up?
sil
fizz: nope. Google are using UK data to do it :)
sil
Rob: dunno. I also don’t know whether you can get satellite imagery for free of the UK anyway…

It’s not really there yet; I’ve been critisising it all morning…
Give it another week or so :-)

It is simply fucking unbelievable.
Did you check the Directions application.
So smooth…

I’m liking the SMS thing.

fizz: yeah, yeah, you are the second person to say this. I have poor timing sometimes. So, now I give a toss, and my reaction is no longer the kneejerk “the BBC is ours! if you want free content, hassle Fox TV and see how far you get!“, and is instead the more considered “the BBC is the world’s premiere broadcasting organisation, and is paid for by the people, and thus we already own all its content; if your country doesn’t have anything like that then I think that that’s a shame, because it’s a good model, but there’s nothing I can do to fix it.”

Doesn’t this mean you’ve got to give all the BBC content to the yanks now?!
