Plenty OF plenties in the article...

I think I actually beat the racetrack level before the patch - so it wasn't impossible to win. I had to restart it loads of time, but I think I then caught a glitch where all the opponent's cars started to pile up, letting me win...

The name.

I want to tether with my iPhone - doesn't make sense to essentially but it again WITH the iPad for 130$

Didn't those things stop working 30 years ago?

Well, maybe not in countries where the police force still uses radar guns made out of paper clips and strings...

HindenbUrg.

No, it didn't - which is why you have contraptions like Y-cable etc. They still were out of spec - everything that worked was a bonus, but you couldn't rely on it, it was just an unusually high-spec'd USB port...

How are they powered? Batteries? Power brick? "Included Dual-USB cable" makes me think they're powered through USB, but it's not clear at all...

Just if anyone still wonders what this is for - if you've ever been on a bus to a longterm car park at any airport, you'll know. Stop A. Stop B. Stop Z5. And so forth - with these, you just go directly.

Ultimately, they talked about rolling this out across all of Heathrow Airport - need to go from Terminal 4 to Terminal 1 - grab a pod. It makes perfect sense in an airport environment.

Oh, and they run on rubber tires - so they should be able to handle the same kind of terrain than a car (e.g. in snow)...

Rubbish. Ericsson runs and maintains the network for lots of GSM providers around the world, and CDMA is dying. IF Sony creates a mobile phone/PSP hybrid (which is possible, even though the N-Gage has failed several times over), it certainly won't be for CDMA and/or Sprint. It'll probably be on LTE and/or UMTS/GSM.

The Sony/Ericsson market is far larger than only the US.
