Some success is a bit off an understatement or you think 80% isn't much or Phil Schiller from Apple is lying here. link

Apple's senior vice president of worldwide product marketing, Phil Schiller delivered the speech, traditionally given by Steve Jobs.

"Over the last six years songs have been $0.99 [79p]. Music companies want more flexibility. Starting today (7 January 2009), 8 million songs will be DRM free and by the end of this quarter, all 10 million songs will be DRM free," he told the crowd.

There are also other player besides iTunes like Amazon MP3 for example and they didn't used DRM from the start.

The EU is making some changes, you don't need to be the dominant player any more significant is enough, that means they can influence Apple at some points if the new language is approved.

I saw already a better idea.
You can adapt those yellow rubber Live-strong wristbands that were a rage one or two years ago, a 10-pack cost $10 so that's good value compare to the $30 rubber from Apple.
I'm sure you can even find cheaper wristbands if you look further.

Since you said any ideas, I always kick against things that don't work, sometimes it helps but more often not but at least you have released some frustration.

polchraine already said it but have you left the battery out for a couple of hours, with that you also reset some options/features of the camera.

Don't know if it matters to someone but for some the amount of apps available is important, since that's always mention to get an iPhone for.

Android is at the point of breaking the 100.000 line for apps in their Android-marktplace. Not bad right for an only two year old OS. Here are the numbers link
You can't compare the two but Apple had between 30.000 and 37.000 apps at the same age. Not saying Android is doing better only good, it just shows how big the Apps market globally is now.

The Apple's App-store, broke the 225.000 mile last month so they are still growing strong.
Here are some figures link

Going a bit off-topic here but for the iPad, Apple said last month they had 8500 apps for that and sold 5 million books so that's going well also I think.

Thank you Matt still if you work with selections you would still end up with an edge or you must feather it properly.

But in this case there are so many roads to Rome as well and for myself, I just like the smudge tool. Just something personal, don't know if it's better or not but I like it.

Gwyn, that's indeed far more important.
Last year I went during the week and I already found it busy so if I go I would certainly not plan it in the weekend

It's at least better than nothing

That's indeed also an option but wouldn't it darken the rest as well?

That looks a lot better but you see some lighter green spots around the area where the pink flower was.
With the smudge tool you can make that far less obvious by rubbing/smudging it out.

Edit: actually it looks very good, I find it so hard to cloon out things in the out of focus back ground, it looks fake very fast.
