@dfp3050: Now I am curious...

@Mark 2000: Anchor Steam, your baby has good taste.

Liquid metal is made of starstuff.

Its 2040 because it will be released in 2020 and take 20 years to find all the missing parts and figure out the instructions to build all that stuff.

@Hearthatvoiceagain: It also subtly queues her to get used to being recorded via hidden cameras, which may or may not be an advantage.

If they came out with Math Blasters for the iPhone I would be giddy.

@thewildebeest: The video would show her slapping you. Then after seeing the video, she would slap you...

Would be great if Rick Astley played on that thing.

@philselmer: And yet it works so well at subduing ducks.

@KingPsyz is not on the recall list: Duck is the company. They used to call is Duct tape, now they call it Duck tape.

Wonderfully clever! Hopefully this phone does not smell as bad as my shell toed Adidas from high school.

It is still an open protocol. If you truly want to use it you can deploy your own implementation of it. That will require designing your own front end interface though.

You Gizmodo folk are pretty harsh with regards to punishing commenter's you deem unsavory.

@McMike: I think it should be the other way around.

Why the oddly shaped opening on the case? Is that where names appear when you are getting a call?

Now with 50% less lead!

I wish they would be required to give some insight into the way their protocol works. Currently there is no reliable way to stop Skype from traversing your network mainly because it encrypts sessions AND randomizes ports.
