Really? For real? A wooden Skype Phone?
Please oh please tell me that they have an optional ringtone that declares "You've Got Wood" with every incoming call.
Instead of using a ringtone or vocal cue - when you "have wood" - you already know it...
uuu. My wood is vibrating. Sorry but i have to 'answer it'!
I imagine having Terminex in your Fav Five will be a must...
Chad says: Come and get your love...
Question completely irrelevant to this topic.
Are neutral comments not as dark as they used to be as well? It feels like I've been swimming in a pool of pure chlorine all day.
Even highly ranked comments can be hard on the eyes. Engadget proves that comments can be even more busted.
They use an opacity range of 20, 40, 80 and 90.
yeah, i noticed it too. Come on engadget, i enjoyed reading the low ranked comments and watching the subsequent insults.
yeah they should change it up a little, how about making the highest ranked bold font, and then highly ranked regular darkness and then go down the line
PSP Skype ftw.
OMG, it looks like a coffin... it's horrible.
It looks very innovative, but at times like these I'd choose function over form. It's good for offices where portability is not an issue. But again design isn't an issue there either.
FYI, the word "pappa" means grandfather in Finnish which kind of fits the product (also notice the photo of an old lady on the company's site). Coincidence or what? The product itself appears to be Canadian.
Means daddy in some other languages, not sure what it means in danish and the company mentions danish although it seems located in britain.
Shop Class anyone?
Wood is so under used in electronic, where are wooden computers, wooden mobile phones?
They exist, but you have to make them yourself. I'm still looking for an old wood and brass 30's handset to put my bluetooth headset into.
Me Want
Only $300 on Cheetos? That's not that much.
Wood U??? I hate wood in BMW's
LOL..... no trees were harmed ...
Ergonomics anyone?
What's wrong with having cats?
eww. shouldn't this be in the crapgadget article?
gizmodo posted this like a week ago, i know you guys over here like to rip them off all their posts, but could you at least try and keep up?
The only way that this could be better is if it were made of RED bakelite, with a bright flashing red light in the center of the dialer (phone dial missing) hub with an ominous sounding buzzer. All of this would have to sit underneath a glass "cake" dome - in order to look really cool.
