    I am going to pass on the wood jokes and express my emphatic support for wood as a material in phones. If you treat it with an epoxy, you get something nearly as good as carbon fiber (and less... douche-y).

    I know that this is just asking to be made fun of... But I believe that 'touch wood' is the equivalent of 'knock on wood' in various other languages.

    I recall this only because i was curious as the the origins of 'knock on wood' a few weeks ago. Turns out it (like everything else) has to do with fairies...

    How much wood would a Wood Touch touch if a Wood Touch could touch wood?

    Given the curved shape I think it would have been a little cooler if you could switch the configuration depending upon if you are right or left handed...

    @Jrsy Devil's Bright Idea®: yeah, if it was accelerometer based and could switch the entire orientation and had dual mics/speakers set up on both end so it would actively mute/unmute based on orientation would be sweet.

    and also, some people like holding the phone with their off hand anyway. some people even go as far as getting their hand numb first before playing with their phones, almost like a stranger is playing with it.

    Lesson to be learned here people: Never, EVER shake ANY GUYS HAND in Japan. EVER! You don't know where that hand has been in the last 5 minutes! The sperm will get you if you let it!

    @TheSonOfKrypton: By that same advice, never touch hand rails on stairs or escalators, or door knobs. People have checked out what is on those things and there's trace amounts of urine(obviously) and semen. In a kind of messed up way, unless you live in a bubble you've probably got semen on you.

    That's so cool that you used the ugly guy that the porn movies feature for the picture instead of some bosomy chick. Most porn movies are way too gay for straight people, IMHO.

    i love porn, but this news surprises me still. i would never have considered downloading porn to a mobile device.

    maybe i'm amateur, but when i think of downloads and mobile devices, i think of stuff to do on the commute.
