Unfortunately it doesn’t say which operating system it’s running.

It looks like it’s stated to me.

Whoops. You’re right. I didn’t recognise BREW as an OS. My bad.

I’ve heard it’s got some interesting quirks.

* Google Maps directs you to Canberra on the way to somewhere else that’s better, but then you just keep getting directed back for the next twenty years.
* All text must be done in dot points (full paragraphs cannot be recognised or understood).
* The messaging system can link into public service computer networks. For compatibility reasons, only one in every ten of the messages you send are actually delivered, and only after twelve other people alter what you are saying. “Meet me in Kingston at five” is likely to come out as “We need a strategic review of Manuka and Kingston, that identifies priorities for government action. This will be developed over the next five years, following consultation with stakeholders.”
* It is delivered 4 years late, and 250% over budget.
* It’s made out of incredibly toxic plastics, and the battery, when produced, causes the leaching of lead and arsenic into groundwater. To address these environmental concerns, it has a sticker that says: “Motorola cares about the environment: that’s why this phone was not produced in O’Connor or Ainslie.”
* It is programmed not to work in Gungahlin.

Canberra on BREW.

BREW: Dead as a Dodo operating system as BADA is.

Ah dead!!!!! Just like the heart of Canberra on a weeknight. Now I get it!!!

Canberra… meeting place?

That’s a relief, I thought for a minute based on the headline and recent threads that it was carrying the name “RiotACT”

Unfortunately it doesn’t say which operating system it’s running. Having been a victim of Windows Mobile in the past, I wouldn’t touch anything running that abomination with the proverbial bargepole.
