... Microsoft didn't buy Nokia PERIOD. And even if they did, this says they're been in talks with B&N for over a year, but the Nokia partnership didn't start until like a month ago.

Yeah, that Tri-State area earthquake really worked us over.
Yeah. I mean, Nokia spent millions on R&D and thousands of man YEARS on Symbian and that's a totally successful OS right now...

Soooooo are you guys gonna mention the wireless communication between the devices they demoed? Or printing? Or the fact that the TouchPad can do video calls, and answer calls and texts from your nearby Pre?

I saw a large rat on the edge of the platform (near where the entrance to the track is) at Brooklyn Bridge while waiting for the 6 this morning. It was roughly 2.5 times the size of the one on the video. First time I can remember seeing one on the platform since I moved to NYC 20 years ago. Wonder if it's a general…
