It's an Associated press article that was posted below a few days ago. It was used by silicon valley paper too. It will probably be used by a few other newspapers in the near future.

Wow, pretty good article, a little goofy on the tech side of things but a great read! Hats off to Ken!

I especially enjoyed the comment about how digital convergence is starting up a web site "to encourage unofficial uses, such as cataloging CDs and books through their bar codes or linking game cartridges with online cheat sheets."

Sure....after the fight, they come crawling back with a new business model. Sheesh!

Yup, story in today's Miami Herald also. Wonder if eBay final auction values will rise once everyone starts seeing these stories?

We can only hope !!

It's been slow, perhaps with Gateway increasing the GTC prices, i-Openers will start selling again at a decent price.
