indieTorrent
"The indieTorrent.org project provides an e-commerce framework that
enables independent musicians to sell their own music while keeping all
profits. Artists may join the community free of charge, and are free to
close their accounts at any time — no long-term contract, no
fine-print. Our aim is to give artists total control over their own
music and the freedom to sell their music in whatever manner they see
fit. At the same time, we give customers CD-quality (or higher),
encryption-free music at prices that artists set. "

This describes a tri-fold Android
based phone with embedded camera. It has a very unusual shape and fresh
set of ideas for what constitutes a portable information device. The
first link piqued my interest. I found the second link more compelling.
