Sounds like a transformer to me as well. An interesting idea for charging things that do not rely on magnetic media. I would not let this device anywhere near an iPod. It would bulk erase the hard drive.
Socialism is about charity by FORCE. Try opting out of the govenment charity system and see what happens.
Corruption follows the money. If the money is concentrated in the hands of bureaucrats and politicians, most of the corruption will be there. Same for big business. Which form of corruption is easier to deal with?
Here are some things that should be known: 802.11b devices come under FCC regulation part 15. That means they must NOT interfere with licenced operation, and they must ACCEPT interference from licenced operators. Keeping that in mind. As a person licenced to use the 2.4Gc band (among others) I can put up 1500 Watt FM TV repeater on that band and there is nothing that the wireless internet folks can do about it. Part 15 devices are the lowest of the low (even lower than CB) when it comes to radio spectrum use. With being said, the FCC is likeley to grant Sirius's request.
BTW Sirius cannot keep crap out of their receivers that is 55Mc away? I've done better than that on the 2.4Gc band, building my own stuff.

Just try not to plook it to death.

Hmmm... Perhaps HP is WinCEing over the price of Wince, and this is their way of talking down the price.
