Funny video: Rapping Flight Attendant

Check out this flight attendant’s safety message rap.

I think JetStar and Virgin have a little way to go on their staff in-flight entertainment.

Sneak peek: LG Arena – new touch screen phone

“LG back in the Arena with new touchscreen mobile phone”

This week, LG launched the Arena (KM900) smartphone into the Australian market. It is their latest touch screen offering, available initially only at Vodafone. Optus and Telstra at a later date.

Here’s a sneak peek…

Recognise it?

Well, you could be forgiven for thinking it looks somewhat similar to LG’s Viewty, but it does have a few standout features in the ongoing battle to “outdo the iPhone“, (see PC Authority comparisons).

If you like crisp sound, then the Dolby Mobile surround sound might get you excited.  At least now if you want to annoy fellow commuters by watching movies, the sound will be good :)

If you like something different, check out the cube interface home screens (four cube-shaped rotating home screens, each one can be activated with a single touch).  I’ll leave it to users to decide if the menu interface and options are easy or not.

A couple of features the iPhone may still have over it though, are, better browsing and of course, the apps store.

Where to find a review

“What’s the perfect accessory to the LG Arena?”

Well, if you like versatility, you should team up your new LG Arena with our six-pack of vibrantly coloured socks.

Music: Loving Bob Evans

Music I’m loving at the moment…

As I’ve mentioned before, my favourite songs change all the time. Perhaps I have an addictive (and fickle) personality?!

Bob Evans

Bob Evans (aka Kevin Mitchell from Jebediah) has just released his third album, Goodnight Bull Creek.

As with his first two, since first listening when Triple J featured it, I’ve been a little hooked. I’m not able to list just one song from the album, as so far, the “best” keeps changing as I learn each new song.

However, for the sake of this post, here’s a sneak peek of his first single released from the album:
