About World Cups, Madiba and Invictus

I just watched the movie by Clint Eastwood, Invictus. If you have not seen it and you are South African, then you better get it. If your are not a South African, I am sure you will still find it amazing. Morgan Freeman and Matt Daemon are two A grade actors and they did an amazing job with this film. I am inspired. The movie did trigger a thought process, and I watched it deliberately on the day the FIFA World Cup started.

Here's some constructive comments from my side to the Producers:

Moving Contacts data from one PDA to another

As some of you know, I have been using a HTC-Universal (Actually Imate-Jasjar) for some time. At a stage, I tried various flavours of Linux on it including openmoko etc. It turned out that the guys have not put so much into development, and so I unfortunately hed to fall back on Windows Mobile 5.
