It's a nice device, but short of it shedding about $500, I don't see myself opting for it anytime soon. I am an aesthete, but one without very much disposable income. Probably not going to be invited into the Cult of Mac anytime soon, I guess.

If the wages of cheese is death, then I shall die a happy man.

For a second there, I thought this was Chris Paul.

If you can't innovate with hardware, then you try and innovate with software. Unless this is uninstallable or vastly improved, please don't bother.

Oh come now.

@Sefa: Ha, love it.

That's moderately impressive, but the first PSP was more or less reputed to be the PS2's technical peer and yet the system was still felled by some fundamental design flaws (UMD comes to mind). What's going to keep us intrigued after the novelty of having that much power in our hands dies down?

@rhetoricfromwithin: *Cries self to sleep*

@G3mpi3: Great. Thanks. Now, I'm going to be saying "Swiper, no swipe!" for the rest of the day.

Cute.

Probably something marginal, really. Sprint seems to have gotten completely blindsided by the huge mobile presence at CES, which is unfortunate for a company that still struggles to remain relevant. If I had to guess, I'd say that it's going to be a CDMA WP7 related announcement, the first step toward gloaming onto…

@o0RaidR0o: I feel like there's no good way to respond that other than:

@o0RaidR0o: Haha, I know. I'm just lazy. For what it's worth, I've pretty much been saying that I'm going to root it since day one. Complacency is a worse sin than ignorance since I know exactly what I'm missing by failing to root - a ton.

AT&T will give you anything you want as long as you're willing to pay for it.

Really? Well my index finger is longer than my ring finger and I still don't have prostate cancer. Suck on THAT scientific journalism!

Now THAT was hard to swallow, like holiday fruit cake or hearing that while your dad will still come visit you every weekend and that he's sorry that he's going to miss your birthday but he had to go away on an important business trip while the squeals of that wicked solo from "Another One Bites The Dust" begins to…

@Jraktal: For what it's worth, nearly every quote from the Watchmen is good and should be interjected into any given situation by those considerate enough to know them off-hand.

@blyan is not on fire: Ha yes, I do see the example you're setting up and I've of the opinion that at least one of the leaders in question would probably suffer a series of semi-comical, semi-tragic, completely avoidable lapses in conscience. And, that leader being considered an equal and a peer, would probably hold…

@Homer Berkowitz: Engadget (and probably Gizmodo, by now) had a hands-on with the thing and Apple was able to keep it free from Verizon's bloatware.

@koolykool: I know you're probably trolling, but I did legitimately laugh at this comment so I have to promote it.
