So Liverpool do the impossible and come back from 3-0 down and win the European Cup, but don't qualify to defend it next year. How come the winners of the Champions League don't qualify for the Champions League, but the winners of the Welsh League do? Haven't UEFA heard of the trades description act? Is being Champions of Champions meaningless?

Congratulations Liverpoool, shame on you UEFA.

UEFA could do far worse than automatically granting the holders entry to next year's competition, it would be a useful automatic measure to allow one more teams from the strongest country into the competition without external wrangling.

Whatever you think about Nokia, you can't fault them for trying. The new Nokia 770 is one of those niche defying devices, a sofa surfer's delight. The closest competitior I can think of is Sony's PSP games console which has been hacked to provide maybe half of the Nokia's capabilities, and Nokia appear to have thrown their device wide open for developers and users to embrace and extend, compared to Sony's miserly lock down approach.

Interesting stuff and the Nokia backed Maemo project to help commercial and non-commercial developers is at significant odds to Sony's "you want an sdk, you pay us mega-bucks" approach.

It's a long term approach and makes me think of the football match I'm watching: AC Milan vs Liverpool in the European Cup Final, first half AC Milan (PSP) went 3-0 up, second half Liverpool (770) got 3 goals back and looked far stronger, it goes to extra time in a draw, what will happen?
