Mobile web browsers have come a long way since we first introduced an XHTML version of Reader back in 2006. For example, iPhone and iPod Touch owners know how powerful having a full-featured browser is. We on the Reader team are heavy mobile Safari users. Sometimes we use it to kill time, other times for answering important questions that come up during brunch: What is Tyrol's first name? How is maple butter made? How do you sweeten rhubarb for sangria? What is John Gruber saying now? For questions like the last one, we of course use Reader to keep up with our subscriptions. #

I can confirm that the new iPhone Google reader interface is indeed rather awesome.

Formula 1 will finally get a new video game title in 2009, three years since the last official F1 game made by Sony. Formula One Management were reported to be demanding up to $200m for the rights.
First, the good news: the game won’t be exclusive to a single machine, and is expected to be available for ‘major home consoles’ (presumably PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii), PC and other formats. This is very important and I’m sure Codemasters’ expertise in producing cross-format titles helped them win the contract over the likes of Sony. #

I wasn't overly impress with the last revision of Colin McRae's DIRT (some annoyingly over-excited yank commentating 'dood!') and the demo of Race Driver GRID, whilst admittedly only available yesterday, has a shockingly wooly, inaccurate and easy driving engine (compared to Forza 2 anyway) - though the commentator is less excitable, so I'm hoping the F1 game will improve upon this.
