Wow! Sony has something like this just about shipping now, called a
Glasstron, with similar human interface, simulating a 50" or so screen
with sound and all. However, very much like that 50" TV, it costs $2500
or so MSRP. A $600 unit of similar capabilities would be very curious
indeed. Could suck up my Zuiko budget for a few months (or more).
