Awesome looking device.

[Saif]

Wonder how long it will take Orange to get this device onto the streets...?!?  :roll:

looks awesome

[encece]

WOW! I wonder if that comes with a backpack to carry it around with? :shock: Is it really as big as it looks? The screen itself is almost as big as the Jam.

I clicked on the link to see the device and instead of swaying over to the MDA IV gallery, I ended up looking at the transparent screen gallery. I think that is a much cooler technology. They dont explain how that is done though...on a cellphone?? :roll:

You mean these: http://gallery.mlife.at/

It's a clever effect, but that is all it is!

They have just carefully taken a photgraph of the backgroud without the computer there. Then set the resulting photo as the desktop image and then put the computer back in palce and photographed it again for the image you see.

Some have been touched up in photoshop or similar to add a few effects too.

I keep meaning to do it with my desktop monitors.

Cheers

I would drop my Mini for this anyday. Looks great!! The builtin keyboard looks pretty good too.

[Disco Stu]

I've fallen in love with this too.
The size issue doesn't seem to bother me, nor I suspect will the price.
Let's see what it can do then  8)

I think the price would kill me, but it just looks soooooo awesome. I want VGA!!!! And the builtin keyboard would be great for email/msn.

This is like the ultimate minilaptop since the success of the Handheld PC. VGA, keyboard, WiFi, BT, phone, GPRS!!! What a combo!

You're right. It does look like a little mini laptop and i like it. What i like about it is that you can use it as a regular hand held i.e. pda/phone etc and when you fancy watching a movie or playing a game it can turn in to a mini laptop. :shock:

Exactly!!! Add portable DVD (converted to DivX) player to the list of features.

..now i realise the need for transparency in 'head-up' displays for cars and planes, but er... the use for a transparent screen in the homes/office would be ?
