Hop-On wants to introduce the Model 1886, a $300 musicphone?

By Ryan Block

Look, we're not saying they can't or won't do it or anything (and we're certainly not going to harp on Hop-On's slightly dubious history), but if nothing else you have to kind of admire the gall of a company that thinks they can just waltz onto the scene and offer up a handset with a 262k color touchscreen, 2 megapixel camera, MPEG-4 video recorder, push email, dedicated Apple-lawsuit-bait MP3 playback controls—all for $300 US. We don't mean to burst any bubbles, but c'mon, let's not be presumptuous about what can and can't be accomplished here, ok boys?
