    So what are the Vegas odds on if Lucasfilm approves this.


    If interest is there (which it appears to be). I say they can't pass up the $$$$.

    I've said it before, and I will say it again. Comapnies, the people who are "nostalgic" and would be willing/capable of spending money are adults.


    So make Underoos in adult sizes. Make Star Wars/Transformers/GI Joe sheets in King size. They will sell. B/c honestly, if I have a set of those sheets, and a girl will refuse to get in bed with me b/c of them, then is she really future Ex-Mrs. SteveDave material? I know if she's wearing She-ra or Wonder Woman Underoos, I'm proposing right then and there.

    Cute and all, but something about this reminds me of Jack London's "To Build A Fire." As in, your camping in the frigid tundra, the temperature plummets and, as a life-saving measure of survivalist desperation, you slice open your tauntaun, crawl inside, and live off of its residual warmth until morning.

    In my opinion, this was probably their intent the whole time. ThinkGeek always pulls crap like this. They were probably just gauging interest and creating hype to make sure when they actually get it rolling, people will be lined up to buy it.


    That said. This thing is sick and if it comes in adult sizes I'll buy one in a heartbeat. Assuming it's not absurdly expensive that is.

    My problem isn't not seeing what's in front of me. Years of "working" on the computer while watching sports seems to have allowed me to develop an ocular bifocal (eyebifocal?).


    My problem is the cars coming from my left and right while I'm happily listening to Adam Ant and sending emails and crossing the street.


    So screw one camera facing forward. I want two cameras pointing left and right so that I don't get mowed down by a Fresh Direct truck or a taxi.

    ...Except I don't hold my BB right in front of my face like an 80-year-old woman whom forgot her reading glasses.


    All I would get is a sweet PIP of the ground, possibly including my feet or belly.

    it's kinda funny, but the little picture would only be useful if it was facing forward... at which point your view around the cell phone would warn you about what's coming.


    I mean, the problem with hitting things while reading or texting is that you're looking down to see your gadget. Thus, your vid is gonna be pointed at the ground or slightly forward.


    I suppose if you had a camera that could point forward?


    Or, you know. Look up occasionally.

    what they need is a camera on the TOP of the phone.
