Square edges, might look black on video.

You write with this thing and send a text message. The answer comes back on the display.

That's an interesting little device.

Hummmm.....what an intersting little gadget.

[afnamvet]

Hmmmmmmmmmm

Tinfoil?

[Huck]

This is real sore loser stuff. Sorry.

Tired of typing out SMS messages on your cellphone? Frustrated at the time it takes to spell out each word using those fiddly little buttons? New technology from Siemens is about to become your saviour. The Munich based electronics company is currently testing a pen-phone. It has no lettered buttons. Instead you "write" your message on any surface. The pen automatically recognises your handwriting and saves the message. You then write the telephone number, click a button, and off it goes. Genius. I want one! Incidently, the phone pictured below is the Siemens SL55 and was designed by Toytown's very own industrial designer extraordinaire - Graham Keevy of designafairs.

This would explain all of the "note taking". I WANT ONE OF THESE GADGETS!

Too bad he couldn't view the talking points on his website with that thing.

"See my website" is not a valid answer in a debate. The man does not know his own positions (which change with the way the wind blows from day to day). Hell this man denies statements of Irish heritage that he entered into the Congressional record. "Those were written by my speech writer, I never said those things."

The media continues to shill for this bloated ahole.

I admit its a goofy idea, but why smuggle a pen into a debate against the rules?

Tinfoil?

This is getting silly.

[Oblongata]

Cmon, it was a pice of paper. It wasn't some hig tech device. A piece of PAPER. You dont unfold a pen, a black pen is not white and rectangular on video. It never looked black. The simplest answer is correct. It was a piece of PAPER.

Soliton, you ready to become famous? You might be on to something because I was wondering why Kerry was writing so much after Bush was giving his response. Might have to get a tin foil hat on but it is worth looking into.

[Soliton]

Okay, Okay, call me tinfoil. I'm just having fun and it is possible.

[Soliton]

I'm sorry, moveon.org would never know anything about technogeeky things like this and Begala and Carville would be above stooping to dirty tactics.

[Oblongata]

Lol, I know. Sorry, i didn't mean for my comment to seem so harsh.

[LongViewSC]

I hope this topic gets dropped soon. The country is just going to react to this as sore loser stuff. Remember the Loserman stuff four years ago.

I think this is pretty tinfoilly, but it is a possibility. I would like the Kerry campaign to directly address the question as to exactly how he broke the rules. And I would like FOX to release all relevant tape to investigate. Releasing that 'it looks like a pen' is not enough.

but why smuggle a pen into a debate against the rules?

If in fact it was a pen. When I saw him place it on the lecturn I thought it looked like a watch which was puzzling with the light boxes eliminating the need for a time piece. There simply are two set of rules. I remember a thread that quoted DU'ers speculating that Bush might try to use an earpiece, there may have foul play but they speculated the wrong candidate!

Bad News....
Republicans believe in the honor system..
But democrats have zero honor...
SLAP SOME SENSE INTO A REPUBLICAN TODAY...
It may make you feel better.. but republicans love getting slapped..
And, It will only piss you off even more..

[Troublemaker]

Aaah, this week Kerry will go old school.
