Seriously. I have NEVER seen a piece of technology that I wanted so bad. Not iPods, not iPads, not tablet PC's, not anything.
I'm going to have a heart attack.
Go sell a kidney...

Don't worry. Though I'm sure it's priced right for the technology, the thing is sufficiently outrageously priced that I don't even have a thought of owning one... for a few years...

No, but like Digital SLR's, I'm sure I'll be able to snatch one on clearance or on E-Bay as soon as the next model comes out for significant discount. More than likely a full blown laptop tablet will come out that does the same thing for less before that time - probably even using the same Wacom technology.

I guess we should use this as the official CES thread??
Motorola apparently announced their XOOM tablet running android today. Somebody needs to give more of a heads-up to their web team, because the site doesn't have a whole lot of detail- especially the "overview" page, which is totally blank save the headers and footers.
I could really see the utility in owning a tablet; however, I want one that is WWAN capable without spending for a separate carrier plan. In other words, something that will let me use an aircard that I can share between my laptop and the tablet. I sure hope one of the android tabs does that. Google Sky Map on a tablet would be AWESOME.

What is that, a mashed potato enema kit?

Something you can use to make crappy homemade beer, that's my guess
you sure do seem to have a lot of time on your hands to be on this forum? Do you have a job? Are you a shut-in?

Woody, if your drinking crappy home brew, you need better friends. Good homemade beer is easy, all you need to be is a little willing and a lot clean.
That thing is either a Hop Back like Troeggs uses or a Randalizer like Dogfish Head occasionally runs their beers through between keg and tap faucet. It all comes down to configuration of tubing (serving versus 170+ degree wort). You fill it with up to 4oz of hops and play. Obviously, it is also a hunk of stainless steel, and stainless is what many wonder toys are made from.

Judging by the name "HopRocket", your guess is indeed plausible.

Was thinking about liveblogging Samsung's keynote tonight, but I see engadget's got it covered nicely.
The whole thing was just....strange.
