Well, if it's going to be anywhere near what it shown on
http://www.danger.com/ than all the hype from Apple was that exactly, hype
since this gadget looks completely pitiful to me.
Though a nice gadget maybe it would need a complete interface overhaul, I'm
afraid I even liked the iWalk better.
Oh well, we'll see tomorrow though I have a nagging feeling that this one
could very well be it....
