Rarely do I take time to brag about a new toy, but since this is such an extraordinary toy .....................

I'll brag.


Anyway, my wife ordered for me the Handspring Treo 600, which is a smartphone that includes just about everything but built-in airbags (think Handspring just didn't have room for those), and it all but redefines the smartphone. the thing didn't come cheap (they run around $600), but my wife got it for $400, since she already owned a Treo 300. Click the link above and learn about it. I won't be back home until the end of this week, so I've yet to lay my grubby paws upon it, but I soon will

Oh, and for those who wanna see what the toy looks like, hereyago:

Hey, jegs2! Good to see you are still around, as I haven't seen you post in a while.

Very slick smartphone, indeed. Can it do your taxes and tell you when you've got spinach in your teeth?

Can`t hardly wait for the day they`ll connect all these things directly in our brains.

I'd rather have one of these:

I'll take this:


And this:

MP-5 and a Thomson machine gun. Yup, that'd make me happy.

AT-4 and Carl Gustav grg/48

Pain the Swedish way

Edit

BTW nice to hear from ya jegs, take care out there and come back safe and sound!

That is a lovely phone, though I would have bought a cheap cellphone and splurged on a Palm Tungsten T3 or one of the high-end Toshiba PocketPCs.

MUAAAAAAAAHAHAHHAAHHAHAH!!!! COWER, FOOLS!!!!!

how many shots per minutes does it fire?

The Wired says over a million.

Die Linky Von Der METALSTORM!!!

a million holy shit that`ll pulverise anyone in front of it.

MetalStorm is useless.

C'mere and say that

And, praytell, what uses are there for MetalStorm?

Well...should I just point you to the demonstration video, or give specific examples? Or shall I just say why I as a former military member would have liked to have had one mounted on my Humvee?

#1 Versatility- it can be configured (Using prepacked barrels) to fire leathal, nonlethal, variable rate of fire, flares, Etc.

Oh screw it, you're right....it is kinda impractical...And I really don't know enough to debate it...it's still neat to look at

How did we go from talking about a $600 smart-thingy to a talk on who can find the biggest gun?

Anyway, wouldn't the electronic systems of the MetalStorm be prone to malfuntion?

Absolutely, but it makes for bitchin photos.

You have referred to the glorious M14 as simply an 'automatic rifle'? HOW DARE THEE!!!

Jegs is a geeeeek. Neener neener neeener.

Nice to see you are still around we have not hear from you in a while. If I get some money soon Im gonna buy a nice set of binoculars or a spotting scope for hiking the East Bay hills. We all have our toys.

A few people I can think of would use them to achieve full erection.
