This sounds even good!

Personally this could interest me if the device has the right processor. I'm a sucker for underdogs and as such a big fan of webOS, the mobile OS that was introduced by the now defunct Palm, then bought by HP and now being open sourced. I would like a device that stands out from the iPhone-crowd, provided I can throw the upcoming open source webOS onto it...

But of course, this is a nice Photoshop effort and probably nothing else. BTW, inspite of red being Pentax's colour, I cannot recall any product to feature red lettering for the Pentax logo, except for a strap perhaps?

Given that Android is supposed to be out-selling iOS, doesn't that make iOS an underdog, too, or am I spoiling that particular narrative?

On the colour thing, red would make the name stand out, but white reads better against black.

Photoshop, let's not forget, can be used to enhance, as well as lie.

A LCD / tablet to connect to all Pentax cameras that allow wireless remote control of the camera.

Only with a specified radius...

FYI it was reported to us that this is fake (i.e. a fabrication). Moved to GT.
