For anyone who cares,
The device pictured is the Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) which is the first mass produced solid-state transistor. The Field Effect Transistor (FET), which is what's in all our shiny devices, was patented about 25 years before the BJT, but it was not widely used until after the success of the BJT because the BJT was easier to produce.

Great Idea! Probably not, set up like this, but I bet one could mod it so that would attach easily to a daiper.

As much as we all love Google and pray for their new mobile phone, we mustn't forget that they are a company of software developers, not hardware.

Here is the problem and why I think the OS-only rumor is the most accurate/realistic:

If Google wanted to get into the hardware business , they would have to either a) start a new hardware infastructure from scratch, b) buy another hardware company and start from there, or c) commission another company to build something for them. None of these are very cost effective. So why not leave the the hardware to the hardware guys, and the software to the software guys. Wouldn't it make the most sense to design a mobile OS that works on any handsets and leave iClones to the other companies? Microsoft didn't enter the hardware business until almost 20 years after the companies conception and that was only with the xBox.

I was just going to say that.

But yes, this is another place for people to see some graffiti art.

P.S. I am not being sarcastic. I like graffiti even though I don't do it myself, and I think it livens up the traditional dismal urban landscape.

"Big Oil" wont be so BIG when they run out of OIL.

Do you have a link?

Splinter Cell Double Agent own all others.

Sounds like it's time for... OPEN SOURCE to the rescue! And who's to say we cant make "donations" to them for releasing this wonder software.

Nevermind, he doesn't actually rest his hand of the screen when he uses the pen. I guess I should finish watching the videos before I write my comments. JazzMutant = FAIL.

This is huge news for the UMPC. One of the major problems with current UMPCs is that if you actually want to use it for anything useful (like taking notes) your palm has to do a gravity-defying act in order to use the stylus. If UMPCs came out with this technology on it, I bet you would see much better sales for them.
