The zumba phone looks very smart, I wonder if it will every see fruition.

Hopefully they won't be combining it with any of their ejector seat technology  :whistle:

IF it works the software for the voice recognition would be worth a mint licenced to other manufacturers.. but as it is, I recon its sadly doomed to failure with an headset like that! huuuuge.. Nowadays it all seems down to the UI and the look/feel of the thing - hence Apples success..
Now, wheres me C5...  ;)

Cool, you've got a C5 8)

Its a shame that style seems to win over substance these days, but if the voice recognition is as good as proposed it would be revolutionary.

Looks rather like a concept/mock up, rather conveniently she 'is not allowed to demonstrate it...'. Common cover that for 'not working yet'.

Unlike the Palm Pre, which is getting a lot of excited reviews.

Looks very interesting though - and nice to see something like that come out of Hereford :)

palm pre doesn't look very exciting to me, low resolution screen, tiny unusable qwerty keys
