Introducing Myspace's Popularity...The Helio
I'm not sure if any of you have seen this yet or if there's been a post up about this, but I'll continue.
A few days ago I was at my girlfriend's house watching tv while she was cooking something in the kitchen and this commercial came up. It was this one girl meeting her parents after a long time has passed with her asian boyfriend. She pulls out this white phone looking thing and the parents call it a phone and the girl freaks out screaming and bawling her eyes out saying "I knew you wouldn't understand." It's not a phone, but it's a flip open ridiculous invention that they have made called a Helio... It's strictly for accessing myspace and that's about it... Am I just crazy or is this where people get too lazy to go to computers to do something...? http://www.wirelessweek.com/article/CA6308155.html

Looks like something for people who just can't bare to be apart from their myspace account. Then again, the company was probably planning a launch and included the myspace thing as a gimmick. Sure, it's lame...but you they'll make some serious money.

Umm the helio can do a lot more than go on myspace.. It's pretty much a phone-sized computer.. Games, music, videos, camera, phone..

It's not... just something that's going to make them money basically because they say myspace all over the advertisements.
