Lets see - a wheel to rplace a keyboard that is on the screen - then why not do what Palm did years ago and make the keyboard a touch screen - I remeber that Wheel idea from long ago - the rotary telephone and it took a long time to dial numbers then too - revolutionary yes, practical - consider the last line of the newscast - Geez

Yep just when we were getting good, speed and precision just went down the tubes...

What next? Take away the screen and give us a speaker in it's place? :duh:

There is a ton of overly funny stuff on Onion. They are brilliant. Not sure how they can afford such a production... the extent they go to make it all look so 'real'. Best TV to watch after a hard day of economic woes....

As ever, it's the little throw-away lines in comedy that are so good - "over 19 minutes of battery life" and "virtually indestructible, unless dropped or hit" :lol:

The Onion really put a lot of serious work into that video, didn't they?
