I mean, I have seen Sony Watchmans for $59 with 3" screens >REALITY CHECK!!! You can grab frames off the Watchmans? Tell us how, please! Actually, Phil, you're right; for the functionality it is a bit pricey. Still, it is a GREAT hack and anyway, you should have seen the vendors of $4000 frame grabbers pulling their hair out in frustration at MacWorld Expo! Apple, I'm told, expressed much more than just a passing curiosity at the technology. It's not great yet (Aw heck, yes it is... if you want/need it) but the implications, especially regarding cost vs. production scale, are very far reaching. --scott -- Scott Truesdell
