@chadsircy001: Not a chance - there is no arduino processor in it.
I'll second the Protege. I have a Protege5, and it's been fantastic mechanically, though tires can be a bit pricey.
My wife and I each have had some pretty heated phone calls with these Feature Films for Families yahoos. Each time they accused us of not thinking about the welfare of our child when we declined their, in our opinion useless, service.

When asked if we would like to join the service or whatever, we declined stating we felt we were more than capable of pre-screening movies and deciding that we would trust our own instincts rather than depend on a faceless corporation to tell us what was suitable for our daughter.

Goodness, did they take offense.

Having ideas != visionary. That's not the point, however. He's done little better than taking an existing product and putting a clock on it.
I've had the "fish treatment". Quite often, actually, in the early summer. At my cottage there are a number of schools of small sunfish that seem very much interested in body parts (no skinny dipping at that time of year, natch). While it feels pretty neat and is most relaxing, it doesn't actually do much.

Then again, different type of fish I suppose.

@CarFreak:

Indeed I was. I had grabbed my regular camera, a couple sets of batteries but forgot to verify the presence of the SD cards. Crap. So I was stuck with my cellphone.

Which car was yours?

I work for a hydraulics service & sales company in S. Ontario with heavy ties to Magna. This strike has shut down two Magna plants with over 2,000 employees laid off. One plant did go back into production for a couple of weeks with parts from an unknown source, but it did not last long.

This, of course, has had a knock-on affect on many other people. My company's bottom line is taking a huge beating. If not for the heroic efforts of our sales staff, we would be laying off as well.

I know of a number of families where both bread winners were employed at the same factory.

The union representing the American Axle employees need to smarted up before American Axle turns into Mexican Axle.

@Darrone:

Just across GSM networks. GSM & CDMA are both different technologies.

Up the resolution on the larger screens, touch screen. That would be nice, but even nicer (perhaps on the upscale model only?) would be swivel that would allow the device to act as a tablet as well.
I think it needs a larger tach. I'll agree with Placebo on the colour, but indeed, the exterior details are quite well done. Surprisingly cheap considering what a regular P5 is going for.

PS, that's a Protege5, for what it's worth.
