That's great
I'd love to see the ads for this one... "Are you tired of your bulky full plate phone? Get the new telegraphic voice transmitter with built-in half plate camera! It's the future technology for the 20th century!"

That is wonderful! The front looks like a face.

Well I'd love to enjoy the satiric humour, but it seems the Onion is now a subscriber based site -- I can't look at that page without being re-directed by a paywall.

Way to go, another good site ruined by the suits.

I had no difficulty. I'm using Opera as my web browser.

Strange... Using Opera, both directly from germany and through a TOR-proxy in the UK I can access it. Should "America's Finest News Source" finally be disabled for americans?

On a related note, an app I would like to see is one that uses the phone's camera to display the input upside down and backwards, as a way to practice view-camera visualization/composition. Dark cloth optional :-)

It must be because you are in Manitoba .

No problem here - using Firefox

LOL...at least you didn't call me a Yank, Matt!

I think it's based on number of page views...thanks for posting this regardless!
