they look like joke-parodies of macpro's. dumb.

$8!!!! screw that. if that's the way the airlines are taking this media server stuff, hello next gen full screen video ipod. free crappy hollywood pix i'd never see in the theater are the only extra perk of flying these days. do they charge you for the power socket, too? not yet? maybe they should start charging per toilet flush, too, unless i watch the in-lavatory video advertisement. hmmm...

i have to say, i have an N800 - i think it's quite lame. the browsing experience is a pain. after seeing what browsing on the iphone is like, i have to say... i want THAT. that's all i wanted, a good browsing experience. the screen is great, but the UI is crap. they shoulda thought through at least having hardware buttons on both sides of the screen. come on! sad. i know people keep saying this, but thank god for apple's iphone. not because that's exactly what i want, but it should make EVERY company double think it's user experience. maybe we'll have less engineers designing devices for themselves, and more designers designing phones for real people.

if these are machined parts, then it's a little late for a change like that. but, maybe it's for a model. or, better yet, maybe this is a chinese product that's branding itself as nokia. haha!

i think it goes something like this: hey, apple called... time to pitch a new commercial. hey, fellow ad guys, let's look at what the kids are doing today. hey, that's a cool video, let's write up a treatment/proposal that's the same as that. hey, apple bought it... well, let's hire those guys whose idea we already took***. hey, nifty, this ad agency is paying us a boatload of money (which is really only 20% of the boatload they're making off apple) to basically re-do our video that almost no one saw, and now it will run on primetime tv. hell yes.

*** variation: oh, the original guys said no... let's hire another ass-kissing company to do it for us that has no morals or pride. etc...

and... repeat x many more unoriginal ideas.

nice! if they'd only drop that dumb green bulbous 3dish logo, i'd say they're near perfect.

there is such as thing as an RGB oled (you know, like rgb LED, but that's not organic) i.e. full color. just not on any phone yet. i'd assume that's what it'd be. being a concept, let's say it is, cause you can say anything. why not?

maybe this is the first sign of a coming deluge of concepts in response to the apple phone: says executive: "WOW, there's that apple iphone - look at what happens when someone lets designers do what they want to, instead of us suits watering their ideas down through our endless committies. we better dig up some stuff right now that we already rejected in our ignorance to show the public we could design too, if we weren't so weak and scared in our corporate hive to do anything with any balls."

i'm compelled to say, though. that is the ONLY pc enclousure i've seen my entire life that actually is on par with apple's industrial design. if they only hadn't slapped "endeavor" across the top.

fyi... ALL of this series also has GPS as a standard feature. nutty. i think one has WLAN, too.

i see the read link gos to press photos. where is the story that actually goes with those photos? really curious.
