A listener Alexander Omhoff is quick to point out to Leo, in response to yesterday's TTTT gadget Nokia N93 (Episode 172), that the N93 is yesterday's news (well, it was), and the Nokia N95 is coming out. In due course, the N95 becomes another TTTT gadget (Episode 307).
iPhone
Apple has applied to register "iPhone" as a trademark in Asia.
Popcorn
Leo explains that in California, you can dial "popcorn" to get the time.
Clarification from George Wood
Back from a holiday in Spain, our favourite Letters Jingle writer has written to clarify that he's from Edinburgh, not London. He sings the jingle himself. He now works for Sky TV.
Making its own sauce
Leo plays an old jingle submission "makes its own sauce", and "Dick will be here" - the churchy one. Leo thinks it's by Ashley Witt, but it's actually by a listener called Pat/Hagen Mrizek (Episode 123).
Calling Sara Fowler
The new Mad Minutes should sound better, and Dick invites contact information on Sara Fowler.
