Gadget heaven...and hell

I got given THE most fabulously silly gadget the other day, by a bunch of nice loonies called ThumbsUpWorld.

What bizarre thought process gave rise to it I can't fathom. It is a model train interior, complete with seats, luggage rack and coat hooks. The window is designed to hold your smartphone, showing a video of a real train journey.
Relive your commute! Recreate that journey to your holiday in Cornwall! Download someone's video of the shinkansen to Kyoto! 
I was so fired up by the possibilities I pointed the Samsung Galaxy SIII I am trialing out of the window on the journey home and filmed the entire journey from Victoria to exotic East Croydon.
Back home, I started to assemble the model. You'd think it would be so simple, but of course there was an immediate problem. The bloody phone was too big to fit in the box. Feck. 
To do? Obvious first step - send the vid by Bluetooth to another, less stupidly enormous phone. I chose the Nokia Lumia 800 I also happen to have on my desk.
The phones paired nicely but all attempts to send the video failed. Feck.
Next obvious strategy - transfer the video to my desktop PC. It transferred OK but refused to run. I really can't understand why not. Feck.
Final desperate try to get the bloody film out of one phone and into the other - upload it to YouTube via WiFi. This took a while (over an hour) but success! Now I can run the video directly from YouTube on any mobile!
The Lumia fitted nicely in the space and it is strangely comforting and addictive to watch my journey replaying, complete with some of the longest and most boring conductor announcements anywhere.
The only final tech problem is that the box was clearly designed for the iPhone and the Lumia's power button is therefore unreachable. So every time the phone goes to sleep you have to take it entirely out of the model to switch it on again. Feck.
You can get this marvellous but flawed device at iwantoneofthose.com. Twenty quid well spent in my view.
