It looks like the zero is combined with the 10 button.
I don't understand the 10, 11, and 12 buttons...I guess that's how they do it in Japan.
Reminds me of Minority Report...scary.

Even though these effects look corny the way some people use them, they still served their purpose for those that used them correctly.
The finger swipe thing with the pictures looks very familiar. (I don't want to say that it resembles the iPhone because if I do, then I'll have be labeled a fanboy.) As for the icons, the dock-like row of icons on the bottom of the screen looks similar too. Just throwing out there.
I bet they didn't even notice that it was a PSP...some graphics person probably that it really was a skateboard and just used it. But if this is Sony's doing...very creepy.
This bill is so illogical that it pains me to even comment it on it. Since when does the government have the right to tell us when/when not to listen to our own, private, legal music. Next they are going to tell us what to wear, then when to wear it in the interest of global warming. Government in the United States, in my opinion, has trully lost its way and seems just to make laws to make them. Now I understand that this law has some underlying reason, but come on. What's next?
The reason Windows is on 90% of the world's computer is because when you buy a PC you don't really have a choice. Whatever the computer manufacture pre-installed is whay you get. Since Apple doesn't seem to plan on licensing Mac OS X to random PC manufactuers (mainly because Apple's OS is based around a set hardware user interface; they want the hardware to work seamlessly with the operating system, and in order for that to happen some sort of control/standards must be taken) anyone buying a PC is stuck with what ever operating system Microsoft is shoveling out to the public every few half-decades. Now if you had a choice, what would you really choose?
In the video, it looks like the person is having trouble with the touchscreen. A few times the person has to hit on screen icons a few times before the input is accepted. I never used this phone (or the iPhone, obviously), but after seeing demos of both it looks like the iphone is more responsive to finger inputs. Also, I personally do not like the LG interface, reminds me of a regular cell phone: alot of pressing in order to only one thing. Apple will most likley win this battle because well, they're Apple. Even after the ipod came out and other companies released similar products, Apple won because, well they are Apple. Apple seems to allow people to think that they are more creative, cool, accepted because you buy their products. And also when you don't, and go with some other company's product people always seem to ask "Why didn't you go with apple?" I now of people who bought a Sansa mp3 player instead of an iPod, and it was like why not an iPod? For some it was like "Does not compute!"

Interesting how this Reality Distortion Field actually works. I wish I had Steve Job's power.!

Apple hasn't been about releasing newly invented things. They seem to be about reinventing what has already been done and doing a damn good job at it. For instance, the iPod wasn't the first mp3 player. Mp3 players were lacking but because Apple reinvented what an mp3 player should be, they won the market share they have today. (and everyone else seemed to follow) Just like they didn't invent the mp3 player, they are not inventing the phone but doing it better than anyone else.
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.
