I want to know who Ash is. Why did he transform? Why does the "sugar cube" geek have a neck brace on? Why are they in that room? Why are people watching on the other side of the glass?

Cool special effects, though. I'd love to see some high resolution stills of the transformation, there's some interesting stuff going on in many of the frames...

I'm just happy I was able to understand the dialog now in the YouTube version. The video didn't get along well with the sound system at the summit, and my hearing being what it is, I couldn't make out a word of what was said in the video.

There were still a few words I couldn't make out in the YouTube version, so I went to the Spanish version and used the subtitles there to work out the missing bits.

oooooh... sounds like another mystery.

Let us know if you spontaniously transform into something, will ya?

...and BTW, in real life there are always people behind the glass.

This is a stretch 'cause it's too geeky for a marketing weenie. But if his name is Ash, and Ash is an n900, then it could be a reference to the fact that this isn't a smartphone, it's a mobile computer. Ash (or is it Dash) is the default shell. And only a mobile computer would provide local shell access with it's default functionality.

Also, Ash was the name of the secret android in Alien. And we all know how that turned out.

That's surprisingly plausible.

Typing 'ash' at the X Terminal prompt on the n900 gives another prompt. So you might be on to something.

But then I have been drinking.

EDIT: dash and bash don't work. Just ash.

Got questions? Just ash. ah ha ha.

HI Guys, it seems everything has started again, or has it?

I received mine this morning, but was told I'll get another one tomorrow. Not sure what it all means just yet. I'll try and update as I find out more.
