    There was a good article on Wired about Eriksson here. Pretty wild stuff.

    I was actually very interested in on of these. They seemed like an awesome multimedia device.

    But the price tag of $500 killed it for me.

    Actually, I remember hearing about these BEFORE the PSP. And, in all honesty, this had more capability in my eyes. It had a built-in camera, built-in GPS, it could play videos, view photos, watch videos, listen to music. It's pretty much a pimped out PSP...


    With a hell of a lot less developer support. Even when it came out sadly. :sigh:

    It's normal for non-violent offenders in California to only serve a portion of their sentance (I've heard 20% is standard). Not enough room in the jails, etc etc.
