Rupert Murdoch’s Mystery Machine

I’ll say this much. For a guy who once owned a steam-driven car, Rupert Murdoch is an elder statesman of publishing who ain’t afraid of no newfangled gadgets. Go Rupert!

He likes the look of Kindle but thinks he can do better, so he’s investing in a company that will build him a device with a bigger screen and 4 color display–with the capability to do ‘everything right there.’  Now if he’ll just arrange loans for us so we can buy the thing. If it’s going to be anything like Fujitsu’s four-color rival it will ring the bell at about $1,000. So far no one knows who he’s wooing with his millions, but it will be an interesting thing to watch, yah?

I’m on board as long as he doesn’t cook up some mysterious or miraculous retrotech name  for it like Rupert’s Fabulatronic Electrical Book Scope or the Murodocular .
