The Ipod wants to be BIG: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Useless Producuts

Overheard in the R&D room

Josh:  There's this flat screen inside with pictures on it and you read it.  And when you get down to the bottom you have to make a choice of what the character's going to do....Like if he's going to go in and fight the dragon then you have to push one of the buttons.

Paul:  Excuse me

Josh:  Paul

Paul:  I don't get it.

Josh:  Well it's a giant IPod Touch..

Susan:  See, there's a computer chip which stores the choices, so when you reach the end of the page, you decide where the story goes. That's the point.

Paul: ...but there's no SD slot, no USB ports, no camera and it doesn't support Flash

Josh: Well there's a camera connector kit that you can buy...

Paul:  So I have to carry around extra stuff to get pictures on my "IPAD"?

Josh:  Umm...you can get IWorks...

Paul :  but no multi-tasking!? I don't get it.

Josh:  I'll be right back (runs out of the room)

LATER THAT NIGHT
