How about a compact digital GR made out of titanium? Now that would be a great, special edition.
At the risk of seriously sidetracking the OP...
Titanium is not always best (although it probably always trumps plastic). Does anyone remember when Apple started making their laptops in titanium?
They often broke. Then they shifted to their aluminium/ceramic designs which lasted much better, particularly the unibody designs. And they were much cheaper.
I'm currently typing this on my 11+ year old aluminium model which has survived more or less intact (at least the case).
