immutability

$279 = €318, how cool is that? If the salary I'm getting from my American friends was converted at the same rate, I wouldn't mind. ;)

Google Voice or Skype wouldn't make this an all-in-one device to replace one's phone completely.

I hope the optics won't be glued to the chip as a single module... I can imagine interesting projects for macro photography, digitizing 8mm film, etc...
