    I love that you have to be 6.5 feet tall to view that tiny screen properly. I can see it now:

    "Honey, why are you standing on a stool in the cold watching the game on that tiny screen?"

    @Hobolicious: Not necessarily. You could sit really far back. Or you could could tilt the unit down by leaning it against some cardboard boxes or a pile of hay. #poseidon

    What an unfortunately irrelevant name for what it does.

    They should've put a Google panorama-cam on top of it instead. #poseidon

    Apparently the tester at Chillchasers is Mephistopheles or they might have thought to put the media player on the other side away from the trap door to Hades. I just hope it has a nice back and forth motion so folks can move from side to side to follow the show they are watching -- great exercise, after all, and the heater makes it an outdoor sauna.

    Um, correct my stupidity here, but isn't a standard plug in the United States in the 110v range, and not a "standard" 220v option (which has multiple plugs available in this country, as I recall)?

    Fortunately the nice green color makes up for all of the other faults.

    @Shamoononon: Thanks for the tip - should have know it was those damn limey's.

    Hey, the heater on this thing might work for frying the hair off of the legs instead of shaving. Just a thought for you. #poseidon

    I dont "get" patio heaters. Put on a frigging sweater or go in the house, dont add your 2 cents to global warming. #poseidon

    Hilariously tiny screen aside, this thing has some major issues. First, from a global carbon footprint point of view it is much more efficient to burn gas to produce heat than coal to produce electricity and electricity to produce heat. (before you jump on the coal thing, look it up, that's where most electricity comes from) Secondly, the design of most patio heaters features a reflector that reflects heat downward instead of letting it drift away. Shouldn't have gotten rid of that. Finally, the shiny green looks great in the renders, probably much less so in meatspace. That brushed steel of most heaters is more classy, imho. #poseidon

    What is this, Cowanmodo? It seems every story is speculation about what Cowan may or may not be working on for the future. I know you have a lot of Cowan fan-boys to appease, and I'm sure that Lam is on Cowan's payroll with free access to any unreleased Cowan products in exchange for plugging any leaks before they happen, but this is ridiculous. Just once I want to go to my favorite gadget site and read some real tech news. What is Kevin Rose wearing? Where does Walt Mossberg eat lunch? What is Coleco up to? These are questions I want answered. #tablets

    @OGHowie: They coulda done that when Palm's share price was at $1.50, but then some other investors stepped in and gave them what they needed and now the share price is above $16. Those investors got an amazing deal - an eleven-fold increase in 7 months...if Palm can hang on to it. Which I don't think they can.

    I thought it was a MID, not a media player with internet.


    I don't know how important the distinction is though. It will probably end up being a MID with a media player anyways.
