I've completed a BINGO

by al409 - 12/4/08 2:20 PM In reply to: Who's going to "call" this game? by Slikkster

All items in the wild- owned by people- who use them.
Blackberry Storm, Mac running Win, GPS, Mackbook Air, Sony Walkman Cell
I have pictorial evidence of all of them.
I also just realized that I've made double BINGO-
Kindle (With the Blackberry Storm), 2 Non-iPod or Zune Mp3 Players- Both Sansa players, Portable Gaming System- Multiple PSPs, Macbook Air, Bose headphones.

Victory!!!

Gah!

I have to be in the picture??? I took all these with my HTC Mogul camera. I've taken multiple pictures- close ups of the names and brands- pictures of people using them- Pictures of people with their devices. I'll post them to the Flickr group and give links to the photos themselves.
I even showed multiple shots of the Mac Pro- relative to the screen on the desk- with the Mac Monitor- and shots showing the steps of the boot process- pictures of the guy writing on his tablet- etc.

Blackberry Storm+Kindle and ASUS Netbook+Zune guys were the best!
I'm away from my cord- so I'll upload the pictures soon

Already have ten (including the free space) filled on my bingo card, but I have to say seeing a laptop battery explode or seeing a kindle user who is riding a Segway seem a little hard to spot in the wild. Hey! Natali Del Conte, Could you by any chance come down from NYC and visit me in New Jersey riding a Segway with your Kindle in hand? That would be great. Thanks.

Things I forgot to mention in my e-mail...

by al409 - 12/3/08 10:08 PM In reply to: Buzz Out Loud Bingo: let the games begin! by mollywood CNET staff

All of the sightings I posted about occurred today- Wednesday December 3rd, 2008. I'd prefer to keep the locations a secret- but I didn't fake any of the photos. Most of the items I don't own- so I couldn't just hand them off to a random stranger and say "Say Cheese!"- and all of the items depicted were the property of the person shown. All pictures were taken with the permission of those shown. Most of the people I asked got a kick out of it- and seemed to enjoy getting captured with their personal gadget. A lot of it was just wandering through populated areas where people were sitting with their laptops and gadgets in front and spread around them.

London

I have seen a few of these in or around London, an iphone, Nokia N series, my own mp3 player (creative zen vision m), several portable DVD players and PSP or Nintendo DS on trains, GPS, ipod shuffle.

I see loads of adverts for the Sony ebook reader on a bookshop near my work but never seen anyone with one.

Same here, the Kindle and Sony , (E Readers in general) don't seem to have a fan base, I showed a friend the Baen Free Library site and Foxit Reader running on my lappy, she some how worked it onto her Nokia N95, seems a shame its not taking off yet,
