Wimbledon Pocket PC Caption Competition

[Jonathon Watkins]

We previously posted about <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=29171&amp;">PPCs and Wimbledon</a>. Well, now for something familiar but ever so slightly different – a caption competition. Jonathan Choo sent us the picture below, which shows Wimbledon chair umpire Ted Watts looking at his Pocket PC (possibly an iPAQ h3xxx) during the match between Venus Williams and Karoline Sprem. <br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/Wimbledon.jpg" /><br /><br />So you wits, what do you think Mr Watts is thinking/doing with his Pocket PC? Let's have some entertaining captions for the photo. No prizes but the respect and amusement of your fellow PPCers. I know you're up to the challenge. :wink:

It's a good thing I bought my PocketTV CF Card (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=27353), other wise I'd be missing my soaps!

3) "what do you mean I need to find a way to drive more people to my lemonade stand!"
4) "Strip Poker II rocks!"
5) "Hey look my picture is on PPCthoughts mobile addition"

"Miss June looks smashing in landscape..."

He`s thinking he had better finish his game of Solitaire quick before the photographer from The Press Association needs to use his Pocket Phojo software again to transmit more pictures :devilboy:

[Dermot81]

"Forget WM2003 SE, I'll just tilt the device on its side and force landscape mode...wait a minute..."

[lapchinj]

It's not a 3700 series since there's no power supply plug in the lower left corner. So it must be at least a 3800 series.

Hey! Look at me - I'm on the front page of Pocket PC Thoughts.

Hey! Look at me - I'm on the front page of Pocket PC Thoughts.
That's the best one yet.

[beeyes]

The guy in the picture is Ted Watts - the Chair Umpire of the game, not Alan Mills...

He is infamous for awarding one extra point to K Sprem at the crucial tie-breaker in the V Williams' loss.

Alan Mills is the Tournament Referee for Wimbledon.

And, BTW, Mr. Watts is done referring the Wimbledon, atleast for now!

"Let's see now, where do I place my bets for Wimbleton matches?"

"I hope I'm not too late to place my bet on Sprem?"

The guy in the picture is Ted Watts - the Chair Umpire of the game, not Alan Mills...
Good catch! I'll fix it.

That was simple. It just can't get any better than the front page of Pocket PC Thoughts :D !!!

[johncruise]

"this is way better than palm... I can even stare at it for a whole day! ... whoa.. what? somebody scored?"

[xboxlord]

"Mmmmm...Anna Kournikova nude...hey she's right in front of me!!!"

Also, it is pretty clear that the PDA is an iPAQ 3000 / 5000 series because of the port at the bottom you can see.

[kansat]

Wow! Miss Sprem has great legs..but better keep my eyes on this iPaq.

[Pony99CA]

"30-Love.... Ahhh, love.... I love my iPAQ, even with the sleeve. Too bad freaking HP killed them. "

Steve (Bitter? Who me? :rotfl:)

[ppcsurfr]

Is this supposed to be a serious thread???

I think that's what they look at to determine if the ball was in or out... if it was a line ball or something...

Or is it a scoring thing???

I'll see if I can catch this at Maria Sharapova's game... she may not be as pretty as Anna, but she surely can play Tennis...

"Better hurry up, I still have another game to catch!"

Mabuhay! ~ Carlo

[mmidgley]

"just keep stalling... ActiveSync will sync my schedule notes any moment now... staying calm... 1.. 2.. 3.. AAAAGGHGHGHH!!!"

Its either a 3800 or 3900 iPAQ (no power or headphone jack on bottom left corner).

"Huh? Rain in the forecast AGAIN?"

"I hope no one in the grandstand is looking over my shoulder."

"What *was* my password again?"

[jonathanchoo]

This capture was taken just seconds after the umpire made the mistake of giving a point to Karolina Sprem in the last set (winning) against Venus Williams. Could a PocketPC glitch actually gave the match towards Sprem? Who knows...

[Bruce Babcock]

humph.....now that was a good game of pong!

Bruce :roll:

The bloody queen keeps e-mailing me. Oops, I missed a point!

Thatchie was right! With this proggie, I can make Venus' skirt appear longer and make Karolina's seem shorter!
