Because those are the only ones being made these days. Tried to buy a digital photo frame lately?

In the case of being an American, just a DAB in this case, will not do ya'.

B&O can't possibly fab their own panels. Sooner or later, someone will find out what kind of guts this thing has and expose it for the massive fraud it is.

Like Sharper Image, they take something ordinary and resell it for an obscene markup by applying their own, nice finish.

I'd love to slam the shit out of my 5D Mark II on countertops, doorknobs, tables, and inconsiderate people. I can almost hear the sweet sound of my Speedlite snapping in half now.

Yes, as in other Mario games, for Christ's sake. Remember when Nintendo actually used to give more attention to their core franchises? Oh, and yes, more Metroid please.

Verizon has never been able to really humble themselves and allow an essentially unbranded phone on their network. I'm sure Steve Jobs took one look at Verizon's crimson unified interface, threw up, and moved on.

I'm sure Canon will seriously consider this, being as they don't really have anything that competes with the EP-1 or other similar cameras. Even without a petition, I'd be seriously surprised if Canon didn't add HD to the G12.

*shivers* It's the killer white blood cell from "The Fantastic Voyage"

RISC is good

The BBC article thinks this might replace keyboard on stage. As a keyboarist, I call massive bullshit. Musicians play keyboards because they are laid out the same way as a piano, which they have an opportunity to learn from childhood with encouragement of their parents and possibly even from practicing on a cheap keyboard. You're not going to be able to sit down at the family Eigenharp like it's the $500 spinet that's been kicking around for fifty years. The way I see it, these "instruments" are glorified MIDI controllers that cost about as much as a used car. Even the most expensive stage pianos usually come in at half this price.

Also, you have the fact that this instrument replicates almost any instrument sound (poorly), so what's the guitarist going to think when they synth guy starts busting out a solo at a show that sounds like Slash through a Casio? I'm all for getting the keyboarist on the front of the stage, but they've got keytars for that, and they won't set you back more than the drummer's full kit and the tour van combined. Expect to see these used sparingly by big name acts who want to shake things up a little, or by rich kids aiming for a Prog rock revival.
