US firm says handheld puke ray is ready to go

Dan Sunderland

Waiting for Transmetropolitan poop ray now...

Wahey we must be less than ten years away from a Spider Jerusalem style crap your pants device now- Turn it all the way up to "anal volcano"!

Gaming device?

Hmm... could just be coincidence but Start and Back are the 2 buttons either side of the Xbox button on the 360 controller...

One plug to rule them all

Agreed, Sony Ericsson are a big culprit!

I couldn't agree more, I currently have the Walkman w880i and although I think it is a fantastic little handset and has all but nullified my requirement for any other music device, the charger connection is bulky and is also used as an annoying extension onto a standard headphone socket.

Looking at the side profile of the handset I don't think this is an ergonomic choice, rather a stubborness to reply and acknowledge that handsfree and headphones are not the same device and shouldn't be treated as such!

Personally I think phone manufacturers are just terrified of the 3 party peripheral market making a better product than their own that works for every handset, but in the same vein surely they could then do the same against their competitors?
