Feed Engadget: Commodore unveils Gravel C200 media player (engadget.com)

From feed by engfeed

Filed under: Portable Audio, Portable Video

Commodore, a company which had long been considered dead and gone, continues to mount its inexplicable return to the spotlight with its latest offering, the Gravel C200 media player. As excited as we are that the C64-makers are back on the scene, it's hard to get too excited about this media-player, which is about as rote as you can get. The HTC Touch look-alike rocks a 1.8-inch color screen, comes in 512MB, 1GB, and 2GB storage varieties, and plays back all sorts of file formats like MP3, WAV, WMA, MPEG 2, MPEG 4, DivX, XviD, and WMV. Although the form-factor is nice and utilitarian, Commodore is going to have to do something really special to entice a purchase out of us... like, maybe add C64 emulation?

Sounds innocuous enough... until they they shine "the evil color" at you and you start puking! A working prototype has been completed, and they will soon be putting it through its paces. Homeland Security hopes to give it to Border Patrol agents and National Guardsmen by 2010."

The lotto blockbuster fiction online bestseller The Clever Giver by Solomon Johnson is not the exception but the rule! This book is the most awesome voice and vision of lotto benevolence since the creation of the casino or the poker game. Have you ever played poker with Destiny and Altruism? What a dynamic and unpredictable combination. Solomon Johnson's work has gone SuperNova on the net. Everyone has to read this story about a preacher who gives away winning Lotto tickets to strangers anonymously and to non-profit organizations across the Nation."
