Politician Caught Playing Games On iPaq
Who says Pocket PCs aren't popular? :lol:
"A member of Norway's Parliament was caught playing a war game on his hand-held computer, right during the middle of Wednesday's parliamentary debate on Iraq. The red-faced representative from the Conservative Party has since apologized."
Here's a great pic from a Norweigan article (the above one is English, but doesn't have it). Seems like he was playing Metalion. I should probably check it out.

On his iPaq no less. HP should grab this article and use it for marketing.

Metallion is worth getting busted for. I am into Argentum though.

I think that is pretty cool AND funny. At least some politicians aren't technically challenged; most politicians over here wouldn't know a computer from a hole in the ground, that's why they don't understand how people get upset over the DMCA.

This has got to be the funniest news item since... well, a long time!
Argentum! The makers of Argentum should send him a free copy! I'll talk to them...

I'm surprised Palm sites haven't grabbed this story to preach why PPCs are just toys. :roll:

Why do I think this guy was making better use of his time than the others?
