LoL, well, it's a bit more than a rumor at this point. Notion Ink's smart pad, that's a rumor, or render if you please (where's the physical evidence of it's existence?).Whether or not the streak will be officially release in the US, that's another story. Of course, that's not really an impediment ( my current phone wasn't released in the US either). I will grant you that I haven't seen it pass through the bowels of the FCC, so I'm slightly skeptical of it's imminent arrival. But then again, you can request non-disclosure from the FCC, so who knows. Come Jan. 7. we'll know I suppose.
