The folks at Android Police spent much of last week putting together a truly impressive practical joke. the combined plausible pictures, detailed tech specs, and even a faked handout from Amazon. I nearly fell for it, it’s that good. i also know a [...]

March 7th, 2011 · No Comments · hardware news, video
This video is about 2 months old, but it recently started turning up again on Twitter. The video doesn’t show much more that a basic proof of concept, but it’s still fascinating.
