...even loaded a full-length feature film - Stephen Chow's Kung Fu Hustle - and though the system divided it up into small chapters, I could watch the whole movie. It wasn't easy to make out a letterboxed widescreen film on the Sansa's 1.8-in. screen, but the action was surprisingly smooth.

...what the SmarTruck initiative also demonstrates is a willingness among inventors to challenge the dichotomies between fantasy and reality, leisure and labor. The creators of the SmarTruck, and those of the invisible touch screen, the Huggable and the IVR-Cave, watched T.V. and went to the movies like the average American.
