I just watch nacho libre on tv, at first I thought I was going to watch another stereotypical film that offends mexicans. I was wrong, it is a funny movie, not oscar worthy, but funny.

The first thing I notice about the film is that it is based in the mexican films of the 60's and early 70's (before ficheras). The story the characters, the settings, everything.

The colors of the film, very colorfull and bright, the location a small town in Oaxaca, that adds a lot to the story.

I think the Nacho character was based mainly in Tintan and as a second influence Capulina, he even looks like him, the scene of Nacho getting into the house of the rich promoter and him singing to Ramses is like seeing Tintan, in any of his movies, also the heroe that everything he does is for the needed is like "La máscara del zorrillo" also Capulina did some movies of him saving the children.

The depiction of the mexican tradition of luchas is very authentic.

Another scene that remind me of Tintan, was the one with Esqueleto and the promoter's daughter is like seeing La Vitola and Tintan.

The conflict of the church traditions with a church member, we saw that in "Sor Yeye"

I'm glad of Jack Black performance, and all the other actors.

I would like to see mexican movies like that being made again, I like many of the films that are made this days in Mexico, but some of that silly easy innocent humor back sure don't hurt, also we most remember that those movies were made in the Golden Era of mexican cinema.

Today Apple release a new iPhone, same looks but a few improvements in hardware and software.

The new version came with 3.2MP the resolution that was the best in 2005 with Sony Ericsson k790 and Nokia N73-N93 the SE the first with xenon flash and the Nokia with optical zoom (N93).

Also the new iPhone now can record video at 640x480 30fps, something the Nokia N93 was a first, the video record of smaller resolutions in mobile phones was a reality back in 2003.

So the iPhone is closer to what the N93, released in 2005, was, but with touch screen, something they did improve, the only thing actually.

Still missing...

-Turn by turn gps software (in the box and not $99 usd I preffer the montlhy fee like in Nokia Maps, because there are month when I don't use the GPS)
-A good camera, at least 5mp
-Multitasking, like all symbian, windows mobile phones can do.
-Flash support in the browser, the apple lovers claim the iPhone has the best browser, how is that if it can't handle flash.
-Multiple browser windows open, or tabs. I think that is part of multitasking.
-To do list or tasks or checklists.
-Office files viewer (at least) editor will be great.
-Java support
-No restrictions in the apps, I want to install all kind of stuff no restricted nor chose by apple, and no I don't want to jailbreak.

With all that, the iPhone will be closer to what a real last gen mobile is. Also a change in design can't hurt. It looks good but is so 2006, you can create a new great looking mobile, like the changes you do with the nano and the shuffle iPods.

So I'm staying with all the other alternatives, with better pricing, apps (90% of iPhone apps are silly games) and no restrictions.

But if you want an iPhone in Mexico are free with a $46 usd plan that has 200 minutes and unlimited data in a two year contract. Or better go with the Nokia 5800 same deal plus one year of free music from the nokia music store.

I downloaded the Nokia Music software and with that access to the store, which is quite nice, the software crashes very often.

I bought several songs, and full albums, the price seems right, less than $0.99, but I play them and pass them to my mobile, in the phone, when playing for the first time, the phone connects to the internet (that is bad, because maybe I don't have a data plan) and download the license, in most of the songs it download the license correctly, but in three song it failed putting a message that I "Don't have permission" to hear the song, so I opened the store software in the phone and re-download the same songs (good thing you can re-download) but there where problems with the server, so the songs couldn't be download that moment, I tried later and it was fine.

Later I bought some songs from the phone, I was in a nightclub and wanted that song I was hearing, it downloaded fine and played fine, then I got the same problem while passing the song to the PC, not having permission, after a few try it worked.

Later I decided to burn CD with all the songs and then rip them to MP3 in order to be able to do whatever I want with my songs, but then the DRM server problem arise once more.

Finally I tryed to buy two songs, it started fine, but the download never completed, some strange error in the PC software, then tried doing it in the mobile, it worked, but it was then the pain of passing them to the PC...

Why the Record Labels insist in the DRM, c'mon is a pain to "play" them and the first thing I want to do everytime I buy a song from Nokia store is to burn it in CD in order to rip it as an MP3.

DRM exist and piracy remains and grows, so we can conclude that, that is not the answer.

Also, please NOKIA fix your servers, you have very frequent problems with them.
