Ginger Interactive!? This seems like a sleazy attempt to capitalize off the Dean Kamen Ginger hype.

And pricey too. Didn't 3com just kill their tablet PC? These Ginger people are destined to fail, that price point is outrageous.

But the obviously orchestrated Ginger Hype wasn't sleazy?

Beat me to it, Matt. Two thousand bucks? Crikey. But they are also doomed to fail for another reason. Actually using this sentence without apparent irony:

It’s the future today!

$2,000, huh? You think that's like, "retail" and then they'll pitch it in bulk to hospitals and old folks homes? Unless the whole thing is a joke, I can't imagine anyone seriously putting that out there...
