Ahem, excuse me while I express my excitement...

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Allow me to regain my composure.
Now us linux desktop users just need a convenient and simple way, such as the application featured on the Mac screenshot, to jailbreak our iPhones via linux!
I'm surprised nobody has already compared this to the obvious - HUD's in cars. I remember some show was talking about the advancements of cars over the next few years, and showed a picture of a full car display in the windshield.. unfortunately with advertisements showing to distract the driver.
I really fail to see how you are confused by this. kWh is the measurement of kilowatts in one hours time. A Wh is the measurement of how many watts are used in an hours time. It's just a division by 1,000.

Now you may ask, "Hey, that's stupid. Why do that?" Well how many watts does your phone or iPod take to charge? iPod's max charge rate is 5v x 0.5 A = 2.5 watts at any given time. That's not a lot, and I'm sure the numbers are prettier to look at in base units rather than kilowatts or whatever.

Anyway, all of this should be a moot point, because if the device had any sense, it would be configurable to what units you would like to be reported in.

Also, way back up top someone mentioned that iPhone and iPod don't have standardized USB charging. Yeah, they do man. I've already gotten sick of wall warts and have converted almost all of my product choices on the USB standard... (charging phone, iPod, PDA, powering small appliances)
That is probably the coolest thing I've seen today.

Reminds me of the old tube TV's and how they were curved around the sides. We've shifted from curved TV/monitors, to the current Gateway/Dell/Samsung square LCD's, and now to slimmed down versions of what looks like the offspring of a Mac and an old tube TV.

Wonder if that white square on the desk will be a touch-responsive keyboard device? Or maybe use a built-in laser keyboard?
This was out even before all of these cars and models all of you are mentioning. Look up an old company called Autostop... they had a system that they tried out way before the 80's that had cars that could follow others, predict collisions, route trajectories, and projectively follow a forward target in autopilot.

Def not the first.
I think the debut of Windows Vista has helped to secure the future of console gaming.. at least until Windows 7 comes out and proves that messing with what works only makes it worse...
Woo, there's a monkey on the wing!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I love my little computing companion but I often find myself missing a full sized keyboard. I have been looking at several of these portable and flexible keyboards, but I can't seem to make up my mind about which I should buy. I don't want the keyboard to be overly expensive, but I want it to be good quality. Also, how difficult is it to type on these keyboards? Thanks!"
