After reading Mike Magee's impressions, I knew I had to have an iLamp. "It is difficult to arrive at a visual image or a metaphor for how it might be grasped, except to be reminded of a weight lifter picking up barbell or a farmer picking up a dead chicken by the neck."
That reminds me, I need to poke around and find out if anyone ever worked out the display interface. I'd like to convert some of these into monitors some time soon, even if it takes disemboweling conventional monitors of the same size to get there.
