Amiga package has been in the works for more than a year now, but the folks at Cloanto have had about the same difficulties with Apple as Manomio did:

Real or not, this is the one form factor I love: a clamshell QWERTY device that when closed has its primary display well protected. Remember the Nokia Communicator series (9300i, etc.)? This design also wouldn't have much competition right now.

Now, imagine such a device that also has a small e-ink display on the outside. At last, after 20 years (phones used to have crisp black and white LCDs) it would again be possible to see the time and other status indications by just looking at the (closed) device, rather than having to pick it up to turn the display backlight on. That's what I would call progress. HTC, Nokia, Apple, are you there? :-)

And of course, being completely rational, dual SIM also makes a lot of sense...

You named this screenshot file "updates_2009-29-06_133808.jpg"? Year-Day-Month is the last thing we need on this planet - another completely new standard by Engadget! You are risking to ruin the only one standard date format that always was recognizable and unmodified: yyyy-mm-dd. Fighting for unified power supplies with the left hand, and introducing a new date format with the right hand!

I presume this is for offices where you can hear a "click" each time the boss approaches? ("click" = close NSFW site, Facebook, private email, whatever.)

Where does the meter get its power? I mean, a lithium cell would last about 10 years, wouldn't it? Or does it use the water flow itself to generate the electricity it needs? If so, where does it store it, in a capacitor?

Canon HF11. It is part of a strong family of cameras, has exeptional lens, great audio, and superior bandwith (recording bitrate). For a better price you can now get the previous model, the HF10, which has a lower (but still good) bitrate.

It's not exactly what you asked for, since it uses flash memory (32 GB internal memory is included, you can add more), but I took the liberty of being open minded about the question, not taking it too literally.

great so at last we can eat meat without killing animals, and also lower the CO2 emissions required to build the product.

And as they taught us at school when we were children, the same energy you put to separate hydrogen from oxygen with the two electrodes, you get when you burn the hydrogen in your car. So in some way you still need a power plant, it's not that the hydrogen in the sea is available energy.

So what? People also cannot visually tell the difference between 24 and 48 bit graphics, yet multiple differences can add up during processing, and that's where they become tangible. Invisible/inaudible to a standard human doesn't mean irrelevant. They should have measured it with machines.

Primitive site, they even want your credit card details on a plain HTTP (no SSL) page. Probably they even use email to forward that data to themselves...
