Wrong Number for WPBF
The folks at WPBF Palm Beach (FLA) can’t be too happy about the latest edition of the local phone book, which got the station’s phone number wrong, according to the WPBF Website. Instead of reaching the station, callers get the home healthcare agency Matrix Home Care, run by the increasingly beleaguered Janice Williams.
Williams, who says she’s pretty tired of people calling for a "Mr. Food recipe," was frustrated enough to leave a new message on her machine: "You have reached Janice Williams, not the television station. If you’re looking for the news station, I do not have an alternative number."
Further indicating that perhaps the phone book editors should lay off the methamphetamine, the book also got WPBF’s address wrong, says WPBF.com. The published address brings one to the Palm Beach County Emergency Operations Center.
On the bright side, the next phone book comes out in September 2008.

interested in your opinion on weehtr they'll be able to address the audio latency issues. I know the diverse range of hardware can't help, but surely they could improve it if they wanted too....?Unless they think it's not worth it, because music making apps aren't a focus for them? But why not? Wouldn't it sell more of both hardware and software?There must be some reason as to why they haven't addressed these problems. So many people would benefit from the differences between iOS and Android platforms.

the number of qtuilay apps is the most important thing, but the total number matters for a couple of reasons: - the more apps there are for WP7, the easier it is to sell Windows Phones to consumers and maintain the loyalty of current users (think about how effectively Steve Jobs cast doubt on Android Honeycomb tablets with his we have 65,000 apps. they have 100 line during the iPad 2 keynote).- it reflects momentum (sorry for using that word, Paul) for WP7. developers don't bother making thousands of apps, trashy or otherwise, for unimportant platforms.- these numbers make Windows Phone look more attractive to other companies (including device manufacturers like Motorola) and investors
