It was a sorry sight and I had to laugh.

A couple of Wednesday nights back I was at the Hollie Smith concert that also served to launch Motorola's MOTORAZR2 (you plebs might have seen it on C4 last night).

Anyhow, after the most excellent and soulful Ms Smith had finished her set, a DJ started up. He had a laptop running iTunes plugged into the sound system. Nothing usual with that, in this digital age. What made me laugh was that when queuing up the next track in his set, he did not hold one cup of his headphones to his ear in the time-honoured club fashion, but rather held his laptop up to his ear, cradling the whole thing in an ungainly manner as he tried to listen to its external speaker.

In another very modern moment, Motorola sent me a copy of Hollie Smith's new album Long Player, but not on CD, but a fingernail-sized miniSD card, reader to be slotted into a RAZR2. Beats downloading.

So what does it sound on the the RAZR2? Don't know yet, though hopefully will shortly. A whole swag of very cool phones, including two that run Microsoft's new Windows Mobile 6 - the svelte Motorola Q and Samsung's BlackJack - are idling in Vodafone's approval queue.

Lastly, on an unrelated note: What happens to the Minister of IT's limo after he's gone home? It gets hijacked by TV3's Duncan Garner.
