Heres one final one before you go then. Using the
Nabaztag Wifi bunny to
read out whats on TV tonight using the new TV API (thank goodness I can
finally stop downloading those TV Anytime files).

Thanks so much for your time and commitment.

Nice work,

Ben,
Thanks a lot for all the time you have been put into the project, the
inspiration it has provided, and introductions to both yourself and others
at the BBC. I think you can consider what you have achieved a great success,
and hopefully the project can be taken onwards and upwards in the
