Today Nieuwsblad.be released a mobile version of their website. What’s really cool about it is the live sport, regional news and events calendar. The live sport gives you sport news while it happens, pretty nice when you are at a soccer game and want to know what happens at another one. The events calendar is another nice feature that gives you all local events based on some search criteria. If you’re at a pub and don’t know what to do next, this feature will tell you in sec the events nearby.

You should try it out on http://m.nieuwsblad.be or send a free SMS NB to 8080 (only belgium)

What a joke!! It couldn’t get any worse with the iPhone coming out half year later in Belgium after the real release and on top choosing Mobistar as provider. Now Mobistar canceled their press release yesterday without a real reason. Steve, maybe it’s better to wait until the new 3G version comes out (next week)? Or do we have to wait another year for that one as well over here?

There seems to be some news going around on Vincent Van Quickenborne using a pirated iPhone:

• HLN
• lalibre

Typical belgium I would say…Vincent, maybe it’s time to get rid of that stupid law in Belgium that stops (or doesn’t stop us :-) ) us from buying one in Belgium…

Must say I agree with him … nothing like a movie experience in a multimedia movie theatre

After 1 relaxing week on the beach tons of feeds to read of course. Some nice topics that already past my eye:

• I was hoping to come back with a new Belgian Government but this seems an illusion ;)
  Emakina started even a new bet around it on gottabet (recently changed to bragster) which seems to catch some media attention. You can still join the bet here
• You can also help Yves to create a new government in ‘LETERMINATEUR‘
• http://www.stellaartois.com/
• http://www.belgium-iphone.com/
• Furthermore the first belgian bank was created in SL, also by Emakina

That’s it for now…I’ll read some more tonight ;)

Art2blog is going on holidays for 1 week to Bodrum. We’ll be back on October 4th. In mean time don’t stop reading our favourite colleagues. If you still have some holidays planned, check out Fasten Seatbelts where you can find the “Do’s and Don’ts” of the country you’re visiting.

We will certainly remember that:

• In Turkey, it is rude to show the sole of your shoe.
• In Turkey, the “OK” sign is very rude.
• In Turkey, in crowded busses (Dolmus), the way to pay for your ticket is to pass the money from passenger to passenger towards the bus driver.
• In various countries, you may be asked to remove your shoes before entering a home.

The last few days it has been quiet…well…now you know why. I moved our blog to my own hosting.http://www.art2blog.be is the place to be now…I’ll make some more changes the coming days on the design but all credits go to Design Disease which created this great 3 column wordpress theme. Furthermore you don’t have to change your rss feed address, that stayed the same (http://feeds.feedburner.com/art2blog)!

Hope you enjoy…
