Searching for Walkera 4#3 comes up with what looks to be a bigger aircraft with a different style of rotor and blades.

This isn't the same.
I'd hit you for that stereotypical remark, but I need another Grain Belt and the sheriff just called and told me my cow is back on interstate 94 blocking the right lane. BBL
it's certainly fake. Well done, but still fake. Check the edges of the apple peel that curves back at the entrance and exit and you can tell that it _is_ CGI. Also, the coloring of the "mist" is off. It should be nearly pure white or slightly cream-colored. There should be no "smoke" - nothing is burning to darken the color.

You should watch the video you reference. The discussion was wether or not there was a indented crater at the bullet's entrance point, or an outward explosion. Your video clearly shows at 0:20 that in the case of a real apple and a real bullet, there is indeed an outward explosion and not an indent.

We could discuss the various calibers and loads and what they each would do to an apple. (for instance, a subsonic .22 does go through an apple without completely destroying it) Or we could further discuss the sizes and densities of various apple types. But in the end, this ad a reasonably accurate depiction of what happens when a bullet is shot through an apple.
Uh, Business 101, never tell your potential customer base that the product you're trying to sell will cost less if they wait to buy it...
I want!
When seconds count, the police are just minutes away....
not really. With a proper menuing system, (or even a tabbed system on a touchscreen device) You'll be able to have just as many books open at a time without having your work area buried underneath textbooks.

Granted the current 6inch screens won't work well for this. But a letter/A4 sized device would be fine IMO

I always thought I'd keep reading real books. But once I started reading on my PDA (in landscape mode with mobipocket) I haven't stopped.
80 books later I just look at the dusty pile of paperbacks I have yet to read, and then shrug and grab my PDA (currently storing 120 books)

I do want one of the new eink readers. But the flash/refresh on them is distracting enough for me that I'll keep waiting.

I don't want to use two hands to read a book!

I want a lightweight, one hand operated landscape-style reader.

I want it to be priced reasonably, and handles multiple formats.

I don't want to pay the same price for an ebook as the cost of a normal paperback. (This should be simple, no printing costs = less cost per ebook)

Thanks!
don't call him guy, dude.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"For a long time I have been searching for a portable device where I can store all of my CDs in MP3 format and stream the songs wirelessly to my HiFi system. The portable device must I've tried FM transmitters, they all suck. I don't want a docking station. Any help? Thanks!" have a display so that I easily can scroll through the playlists (I don't want to use a TV or monitor). I suppose that there must also be a second device that is connected to the HiFi system that would receive the wireless streams from the portable device.
