Have you tried an iPhone? They nailed “cool” and a good browsing experience.
Have you tried Photosynth? They nailed “cool” and a good demo.

Among other interesting timeline facts, here’s one interesting tidbit.

Robert Scoble is taking a break from blogging. This is not a surprise. Anyone who blogs a lot has this stage hit them about once a year. They realize life is more important than just what they happen to spend a lot of time doing. They also realize that changing where they spend time affects [...]
