Hmmm.... I guess everyone has differnt taste's. I personly find the iPod in white of all colors to be about as ugly as anything can get. Now in black that's another thing ;-) Anyway looking at this phone it occures to me that this screen layout would be nice for an eBook reader. Take two color OLED screens the size of a Palm TX screen, put a hinge in the middle and make that be where your AAA lithium-ion batterys are (or one side is electronics and the other perminant lithium-ion. Would give better protection from elements). Use only a 1/2 inch wide strip accross the bottom of each screen as a touch screen area and still part of the display for navigation & reconfigureble buttons depending on layout of book, links, bookmarks etc. Don't use any hard buttons and have the hinge be the on off switch & timer shut off to save power if left open. Or switch can be optical magnetic to keep case sealed (magnet on page 1 lines up with sensor on page 2 when closed) Less moveing parts and you may be able to make it water & sand proof that way. Coat the outside with solar cells to keep a trickle charge going to battery. Don't use any screws or other mechanical fasteners, use only high tech adhesives and split the curcuitry between both halfs evenly. That way it is evenly balanced while holding and can give the illusion of being much thinner when it's open. It may actualy turn out thinner if you use adhesives and ultra thin ultra rigid carbon fiber for the caseing. Uh... and the last features I can think of are to give it about 8GB of internal flash for media and a magnetic tipped cable that both charges and sync's the device via induction. That way I would have a full color eBook that has two pages, recharges itself via solar energy if need be, has only 1 moveing part (hinge), and can be read either in the bath tub or on the beach, two places I'd like to spend more time. Now that I think of it I'm copyrighting this right now!!!!
