Faster than a speeding bullet?
In all honesty, I *would* like to pay more tax and get better public services. Finland, Norway, Sweden: they have the right idea when it comes to government.

Other than that: I'd prefer no CCTV and more (even if not ubiquitous) police. Spend the CCTV money on coppers. Please.
I'm a brit; and I think it's bad. I'm not alone.

The fact is that there are *many* brits who dislike CCTV, and engadget is a liberal-left news source, so they're totally entitle to approach technology of this kind with this attitude. Approach the articles with a healthy view of debate, but don't berate them for being out of touch: they know what they're saying, you just may not agree.
And this is the sort of attitude that worries me. I have been mugged, and you know what I'd prefer to a CCTV camera? A police officer. If we need anything, it's humans, not data, and certainly not ubiquitous surveillance.
I actually *am* a brit, and I hate them; as does everyone I know. The thing is that it's just a bit *too* much work to fight them at ever turn: which is why we're headed for disaster.
Please, please, please, let there be cheap Chinese knockoff of it. Gods, that's some wishful thinking right there.
I know what you mean: if they could mass-produce it for $150, or even $300, they'd get as many buyers as they wanted: the thing's already been pimped on slashdot, and every other geek site on the net so much.

This way, they only get people with far more money than sense. It is a sad day.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
