    oh wow. thats probably the worst idea ive ever seen. the guy took 45 minutes to type an email to his friend that was a good 4 sentences, and they said the battery only lasts 20 minutes before it needs to be recharged. i think id rather have a laptop thats a little thicker with a functional keyboard to type on than a wheel that i basically have to go back to the days when i used 1 finger to type with. that will never last.

    For the PC equivalent, go to Start--->Run This one is for real. :-D

    Type in osk.exe in the Open box and click on OK, and you have an onscreen keyboard that just uses mouse clicks. Bazza

    I think they're all very mean to you KingSteve. It was an honest mistake. And if it helps, my neighbour's daughter thought it was real too (she was just visiting to show us her new doll). rolleyes

    LOL @ some predictive sentence completing feature lines, 'The absinthe arrived by airmail'.roflmao Too bad I can't pause the video to read some more of those lines, I will not replay the vid.

    Able to freeze it and copy using Gadwin PrintScreen - see attachment. Unfortunately, it appears that the new device didn't come with a spell checker - at least as far as the predictive sentence software was concerned!! :(

    And how did they say they were going to reduce the weight of the next one by 4 ozs??!! LOLLOLLOL

    Feckin' hilarious!roflmao Crying with laughter just reading the rolling 'news' across the bottom of the screen. We used to have a similar kind of thing over here in the '90's, Drop The Dead Donkey. Onion N N:cry(geddit?), way better than the real news. Give KS a break, fellas, I thought WWF was real right up until I was eight.

    LMBO almost missed this thread. I really loved the hummingbird battery that lasts 20 min. and the sentence completion feature!

    More giggles re:
    "use in the actual world and not just ....ing around"
    "unbreakable unless dropped or hit"

    @ KS, know you were half tuned out when watching, easy to spot when you tune in. We'll tune out things, better in a fun thread then in tech forum (where most of my furballs land). My latest "could it be a conflict" UM YEAH that's what the thread is about *grins*

    Look at it this way, 1000+ people will smile before this thread dies.

    *smiles*

    Darn! I wanted to be the first to congratulate you, KS. That'll teach me to go to bed!
    Anyway, I offer my sincerest congratulations on reaching this glorious milestone of 1000 views. If I knew how to add stars and banners and streamers, etc, I would most willingly do so. As it is, you will have to settle for this a humble smilie:

    :highfive
