Question for those in the know- If I wanted to, could I play this on a Walkman? Not a fan of the Ipod...

Can I walk into a shop and buy a paper version? And some Blackjacks?

I hate iPhones. My wife has one and does nothing else!

I have a workmate who's constantly showing me the latest incredible "app" on his i-knob (ooh a pretend pint of beer - that's worth 35 quid a month). My pay-as-you-go costs a pittance and it's a telephone. That does texts. It has games too, but they're tiny and rubbish - I don't care. It's a phone.

I'm sure this is good news for those more connected than me, but I like my comics made out of paper. Computer screens are about ill-informed bullshit and waffle about comics, not comics themselves!

iPhone isn't—it's a small computer that has an application that enables you to use it as a phone.

I agree about the comics thing (I prefer mine to be on paper), but then I also wouldn't be against carting about a few 2000 AD classics on an iPhone for those odd moments on the train where I fancy reading a comic rather than one of the various books on the device.

Agreed. I barely make any calls at all on mine - it's much closer to a very small laptop than it is to a very large phone, with the added advantage of being a cracking media player. Oh, and I can make phone calls on it.

I agree completely about the paper/screen thing but then I thought the exact same thing about books, and the Classic (ie - out of copyright) Novel app I installed is surprisingly readable, and I'm actually enjoying using it.

And I reckon 59p for eight Alan Moore future shocks is a pretty good price, frankly!

I carry ALL Alan Moore's Furture Shocks with me, wherever I go anyway. On my i-Brain. It's amazing what an i-Brain does- stores more pictures and video than any of your devices, and allows me endless amusement on trains/ buses/ while walking around.

Indeed, Steev. In fact, why bother with trains and buses when you have feet?

I see Clickwheel also have freebies of some Metro Dredds for the i-phone.

Free Daily Star Dredds for the i-pod/phone is the way to go I think!

i own an Itouch not the phone.

if you stuck in some foresaken part of the galaxy you would believe its the greatest invention since the wheel.
spent last year in ALASKA i speak from a place i understand here.
the download feature such as this is wonderful. you try carting a ton of progs about. its not clever. trust me.
