Andonyx writes "There's already a review out on Zdnet regarding Danger's Hiptop PDA / Phone device. It looks very interesting and the review is mostly positive. It has some minor niggles, but concludes that it is a compelling and polished first gen offering."

  3. Cell phones? by PhysicsGenius · · Score: -1, Troll
    Are knowledgeable people still buying into that hype after what the Surgeon General released the most recent study? Hello, beaming electromagnetic rays into your head is harmful.

    If you remember your first year physics class, electric field strength from a point source is q/(4pi*epsilon0*r^2). The charge q inside a cell phone is pretty high, somewhere around 12 volts and the distance to your head is obviously pretty small, call it less than 1 cm. This means the polarizing effect of cell power on the electrically active neurons in your brain is more pronounced than that of the Sun. No one doubts that the sun affects our brains and it is 93 billion kilometers away, why all this skepticism over cell phones?

  4. A "Hip-Hop" PDA? by theonomist · · Score: -1, Troll

    Well, I think the atomization of our culture has gone just about far enough now, has it not?

    Now they're selling technology pre-segregated along racial and economic lines. The left-leaning media seem to have expanded their ideological stranglehold out into the technology industry. What next? "White People Cell Phones"? The new 2003 Chrysler "Asians-Only"?

    The destructive madness of exclusionary identity politics has gone far enough. It's time for us to focus on our common heritage as children of God, not on the divisive nonsense that strives to turn our great nation into a Balkanized chaos of competing and mutually genocidal tribal "identities".

  6. Is Slashdot paid to show this stuff? by puppetluva · · Score: 1, Troll

    Are you being paid to show product releases like this? I know that traditional news outlets are paid to show stuff like this all the time. Has this practice spread to slashdot?

    Because of the closed, proprietary nature of this device, it is of almost no interest to me (or most long-term slashdot readers) whatsoever. If you are paid to do releases of this nature, please come clean and start a new topic heading.
