This is disappointing to hear, I've just recently taken out a 24 month contract with a HTC Hero. If this new one comes out with a half decent camera then I'm going to be bummed as that's my biggest complaint with the current Hero, everything else is pretty sweet. The only other improvements I can think of are a higher res. screen, more built in memory, and a faster processor, maybe some sort of graphics chip if that's what floats your boat.
One of these for £5, with really decent reception, tuned to something like Kerrang (do they have a radio station?) and I'd buy it, maybe 2 or 3 if there are similar stations.

So does the United Kingdom, France and Germany do as well if I remember correctly, probably most of Europe now that I think of it.
Pretty much every cellphone I've had has been able to capture infrared light, if this technology takes advantage of that then it seems like less of a stupid idea, if it doesn't those little blinking lights will get annoying fast. Even if it does though it's going to take a long time to transmit a reasonable amount of data, most cameras have a limit of 30fps, transmitting in binary at those speeds would be unbearable. For the tome, effort and money it would take to implement this technology it would be far more sensible to just use Bluetooth.
I'm almost certain it's not legal to ride something with a 1300 on the roads over here in the UK (without an appropriate drivers license and proper certification eg. tax, MOT and registration), what's the situation in other countries?
seems like a lot of hassle though, would it not be easier for a blind person to stick to braille books? Computers weren't designed for blind people, trying to adapt them for their use is like trying to get a blind person to drive a car.
This shit can't be serious. How does a blind person browse 8GB of files? How does a blind person even view those files (except for audio and text)? How does a blind person use Windows, without a GUI but through braille? Why would a blind person need Wifi and bluetooth? How would a blind person find the USB ports and the device to plug into them, and why would they have the device in the first place? Why would a blind person need VGA on this device?, don't think a monitor will be much use to them. And really, how much software can there really be that works in braille?

Not trying to be an arsehole to the blind, just seriously wondering how and why they would actually use such a device.
I'm just joshing Nate, but we're now going to require proof of your hot girlfriend.
Hah! You think you're ever going to get married.

Good luck.
It's "couldn't care less", think about it for a second and you'll see that what you wrote doesn't make sense at all. I'm guessing you're American, they always speak a load of shit.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a wireless trackpad to use with my older (2.5 or so years old) C2D MacBook that's perpetually docked to my home theater. Something sleek, thin, not too small, made of high quality materials. Ideally, it would natively support all of (Snow) Leopard's multitouch inputs, and even more ideally, it would have a charging dock / base. The only problem is that I'm not sure that such a thing even exists. Think you can throw me a bone?"
