I stopped into a Sony Style store in LA by happenstance yesterday... and was thoroughly unimpressed.
A glossy store showcasing the wonders of proprietary format gear (ATRAC3 capable cd players, MD players, MemoryStick cameras), staffed by people who didn't know the slightest thing about the technology, all on top of inflated prices (no bargains there!)...
The concept has some potential, but the execution needs a good deal of work, at least in that location.
Went to change my carrier on the 25th of last month. The curteous sales clerk at Cingular told me it should take between 4 and 24 hours for the service to be switched from AT&T (who gets horrific GSM signal where I live). It's the 3rd of December now. Still no shift in service.
But at least Cingular paid me $80 for the privelage of getting a (useless) new phone and service plan with them.
... I know it would require some different layout and design (and likely different materials), but is there any way to flip this concept around and make a light emitting pixel that produces all three colors at one point? Perhaps light emission from a single source, achieving different emitted wavelengths by varying the depth into the material that the source is excited?

And Nintendo didn't catch this!? Funny.
Good thing, I guess, as it's a set I'm fond of.

(though the massive WEGAs were pretty)

I'm going back to smoke signals.
