Picture 19: The chair's back legs are floating.

Also, oddly funny caption on #5.
So, I guess I'm the only one that noticed that it only changes color after it's failed? In the frames up to it failing it stays essentially the same color. It only changes color after the material retracts. If this actually worked like the articles says it does, it would be red at the 5th frame and start reverting back to yellow on the 6th. The 9th frame technically should be the same color as the first frame.
It's a promotional desktop calendar. Instead of sending out a paper calendar, this guy decided to make one out of aluminum in the shape of a lens / casing.

Oh shit! They have the underwater cowboy game market cornered!
SOOPERGOOMAN, you fail. This specific version of this video isn't hosted on youtube. This is being linked from somewhere else.

What was it that you said about details?

Anyway... back on topic. I was kinda hoping that the kid broke the damn thing when freaking out. That would be awesome. Either that, or someone off camera shot him with a tranquilizer dart.
Design-wise: weak. It just looks like a big iPhone with a bunch of buttons shoved on the front.

Capability-wise: nice.

However, I wouldn't buy one. Just the fact that they moved the screen off center to put the logo on the front... very annoying. They could have easily kept the screen centered, and made the logo fit in the space available.
From the read link:

"I thought I'd explain myself: It was a combination of some fantastic wine, constant ribbing from my friends, and a hand rolled cigar that did this. "

Really? Hand rolled cigars cause lapses in judgement? Sounds like you're a stoner to me. A ridiculously rich stoner who works for a large corporation and probably wouldn't want anyone to know that you're a stoner.

I mean, I personally don't care if this guy smokes, but really... if he does, he's being pretty stupid for having made that cigar statement.
Anyone else notice that on the back of the "Fiit" it says on the warning label "Do Not Wear Shoes or Socks". (Last picture in the gallery)

I find it kinda funny that Nintendo guys are demoing these with socks on when you aren't supposed to wear them on it in the first place.
Shot on the right: Obviously fake. The camera wouldn't be seen in the screen reflection at that angle.

Upper 3 shots on the left: Real pictures of prototypes. These are probably as close as you'll get... for now.

Bottom left shot: I'm confused about that one, but probably from the same people that did the middle 3 on the left. It appears to be just a case, as there's no SIM card cover and no sleep button.
Guys, seriously. This is old. Replicate this effect with a 1000x1000x1000 pixel OLED cube and I'll be impressed.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
