I bought a shuffle as a gift at the ATL airport last X-mas on the way to my Mom's in FLA.

Very convenient, and this was when there were NO shuffles in the stores anywhere, or so I'd heard.

The machine takes plastic, not sure about cash.
There's a very good GUI and the robotic arm drops the product perfectly.

This is no Horn -n- Hardardt's machine.
@Sharon

This unit apparently DOES support OTA Digital broadcasts.
Note the inclusion of both ATSC and NTSC tuners.
All you need in an antenna.

Ah, yes.

You can't go around changing the host of the Tonight Show.
You'd better hope Johnny Carson lives forever, though.

I'm going to confuse the crappy Razor scooter with the crappy RAZR cellphone?

Also, where do GIllette and Schick fit into all this?
Why do they not sue 'Razor' over the use of the word razor?

There are too many goddam lawyers in this country.
Slightly OT, but someone should alert whoever wrote that invite that "03:00 PM" is an oxymoron, as 03:00 is military notation for 3:00 AM, and 15:00 = 3:00 PM.
While I don't care much for either advertising or KFC, I think this shows a lot of smarts on their part.

Instead of whining and crying about how a new technology is "killing their business" (are you listening RI-,MPAA?), they found an ingenious way to exploit the very technology they should have been averse to.

Now there's no way this could have been done by the same ad agency that put the song "Sweet Home ALABAMA" behind the "KENTUCKY Fried Chicken" ads.
I'd buy this in a minute, if it were available in the US for $600.
Unfortunately, it isn't yet, and the price of a similar 30" Samsung is still $1000.
Haha.
Justin beat me to it.

Even the third pic looks a lot like ersatz gay lit "it boy" JT Leroy's doppelganger.

OK, is it just me, or does anyone else think that if you're too unskilled or too lazy to drive your car, you should just be riding the train?

And who wants to hear the goddam car beeping every ten seconds?

Not to mention, who would by an automobile with "exceptional handling and control" only to hand that control over to some stupid silicon chip?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am trying to configure out a really dumbed down and intuitive PC for my grandmother. She recently had a stroke and while she is under my care I would like to repurpose a laptop for her to surf and email her children. Anyone have any experience with what input devices and UI's are really understandable for the over 80 crowd?"
