    WebOS, iPhone OS, and Android are all *NIX with HTML and Javascript on top. Except for Windows Mobile, most of the smartphone market has some form of *NIX / Java blend.

    VMware would really shake things up if it blurred the barriers of hardware. I don't think the carriers will go for it, though. Handset vendors won't care as much, except Apple, whose whole game is "the total user experience" anyway.

    I'm not sure why but I absolutely love the design. I like that they left the ports on the back all askew, like the corner was really just chopped off. Also, I agree with HeartBurn down here ↓.... If they can keep the price at $200 for an ION, I'll be getting one.

    @Segador: the thing is that design, although pretty, is not to practical. My shelves/spaces are not really designed to hold something like this in a which would create a aesthetic tv center, which would deem the aesthetics of this box useless.

    If they can deliver an ION system for $200, I'll be very impressed. I also might buy one or two for hacking purposes.

    That is one funky looking box. The design doesn't really make sense to me for its intended purpose. Yes, it is edgy and eye catching, but I don't see it fitting in too well in a media center.

    I like the box-sinking-into-the-table design. I'd say it looks best from the back but I don't want to set myself up for any "that's what he said" jokes.

    @Nathan Obbards: You might prefer to live in Malcolm Cochran's 30' wine bottle, Private Passage, over by the Hudson River. The interior comes complete with a bunk, kitchenette, lounge chair, and shitter.

    @Bos'un's Mate: Both are pretty awesome, but I'd be willing to bet the buried apartment is warmer in winter and cooler in summer than the wine bottle. That and a little bit more private.

    As long as the devices are dependent on carrier distribution it's not going to happen. As it is right now if you want WinMo and Android, you buy two phones, they subsidize one (which locks you into a contract) and then sell you the second for additional profit.

    There are so many things f**ked the hell up with the wireless industry the ability to load your own OS barely even registers on the radar. How about we start by getting the carriers to discount service for those of us whose devices they aren't subsidizing. Once that happens buying unlocked becomes a much better value proposition, then with the carriers, and their desire for artificial market segmentation, out of the way a multi-boot smartphone might be possible.

    People from the FCC / congress, if you're reading this, make it happen.

    Great review Wilson, and thanks for the unboxing pix, but I'm still on the fence about which e-reader to indulge in... I'll wait for some more competitors to enter the frey...

    It's too bad i don't speak African to be able to verify this.

    If you're gonna name your device in a foreign language, at least know what language that is.

    How does the glare on the Nook's screens, i.e. outside in bright daylight, compare to the Kindle's screen? The eInk screen is probably similar to the Kindle, but I can see that touchscreen being completely washed out outdoors, where it's most useful.

    Remember, kids, you too can pull off what this Indian is doing for way less than $500:

    1: EEE PC from eBay (~$150-200)
    2: Aeeeris conversion kit (~$50)
    3: Touch screen kit (~$50)

    For only $300, you too can have the "unrealistic" price of your own JewJew(tm). And it runs any OS you like - not just some lobotomized, stripped down Linux platform.

    @:negated:: seriously... I was all about the CrunchPad and the "grassroots" development process that went into it... Hell, I was even excited about the prospect of hacking OSX onto the thing to pre-empt the iTabletThing.

    But having seen this guy in action and reading some of the materials Arrington has posted on TechCrunch I'm going to pass too...

    JooJoo... more like DouchePad.

    What an ass...
