Acorn. Heh. You're kidding, right? My only guess is you work for one of the failed wannabe companies you rattled off.

@anachostic - and who said kjb434 is a -girl-?

This is engadget, you know......

Didn't read the linked ad, but that still makes me wonder. Is the customer his little brother? The next-door neighbor? Or is someone out there paying Ben thousands of dollars for these magnificent works of art?

Ahh, the ubiquitous 'douche' comment. You Microsoft boys are a little touchy about your upgraded-XP OS. Err, I mean, Windows 7. Maybe I meant to say, "how many ways can Microsoft 'borrow' from OSX...."

I don't get this Ben Heck guy - while his mods are usually clever, does he make a living doing this? Or is it just a hobby? (Maybe meaning, does someone actually buy this stuff?)

Of course he did.

Well, here we are, launch day. There's so many things we could talk about, from the negative reviews to the dismal sales numbers. One thing I found the most interesting was how the app store (if it even exists yet?) is/will be CLOSED to outside development. Oh, how do these gems get handed out so easy. :^)

I can't imagine the embarrassment. All we here about from you Apple-haters is "Oh the humanity, they don't approve certain apps!!! BOOOOOHOOOOO. Open source. Android!!! The man is keeping us down!!! It's may damn phone, let me decide what I'll put on it!!!!"

Then your iPod killer is released.

And....the app store (does it even exist yet?), is CLOSED to outside developers. LOL. Oh wait, Twitter will be FREE!!!!

I'm done, I've spouted out enough absurd and stupid comments to rile up you Zunies for a week. I thought I'd come back to stir the pot, but WOW, didn't expect Microsoft to supply me with the game winning material.

Enjoy the app store. Maybe they'll toss in Minesweeper!

Damn Stewie, and here you are on the front page talking about nude men. You just don't stop, do you, you little freak!

We didn't.

Wow, I bet that 1.1% market share Microsoft has on PMP's will really put a dent in iPod sales. Or it won't.
