Erm, dual layer DVDs are about 9GB which means you could fit 3 feature length movies on one of these discs.
The article didn't mention it but I assume, given the opaque nature of paper, the discs must be double sided. Which means you would have to flip them over or have a device with 2 read heads. Either way thats less convenient than using clear plastic discs.
The Scion 5Mx has a B/W LCD screen. How long do the batteries last when the backlight is on????
Multiple days. I agree with what you're saying but the 5MX is a bad example. The batteries in that last for ages.
P.S. The 5MX was made by Psion. Scion is an automobile brand owned by Toyota that makes funky, cute cars for the Californian market
I was looking around the (very slow) website and found this nugget, note the date...
Where's the rest?

Sounds plausible to me. Especially when you notice that January 19th has been circled. Or rather the space where that date would be if it hadn't faded away is circled.
3. 40kb/sec download of the software. Exactly what kind of net pipes do they have running into Jenin? Maybe download.es5.com is located somewhere else...
Well, according to visualroute
It would appear that whilst www.es5.com is in "Israel" download.es5.com is in Amsterdam.
