Lovefilm??? Sounds like a porn site.

Definitely agree there. Steve has this fetish for things thin. As long as he's around in any capacity, I think it'll stay that way.

I love the form factor of the iPhone 4 and think it's the best design to date for all iDevices. Pity the thing is so danged expensive.

That's the primary use for my iPod touch. I stream internet radio a good part of the day and the touch is perfect in that role. I have speaker docks scattered about the house, so the extremely poor battery life is a non-issue for this use.

It's also worth noting that Lovefilm works fine streaming from the website with flash-enabled devices - great on my Touchpad, for example - with no need for an app or a specific Kindle device.
