You want it, right? "The new device is an improvement over the old device, making it more attractive for purchase by all Americans," company spokesman Thomas Wakefield told The Onion (http://www.engadget.com/tag/TheOnion/) -- and we're inclined to agree. After all, the consumer electronics industry isn't just about buying items that will improve your quality of life. No, it's also about pressing your buttons, finding ways to make you feel good about a brand -- whether through totally rad product placement (http://www.engadget.com/tag/screengrabs) or ample, yet vague, product specs (http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/journal-finds-that-consumers-prefer-vague-product-specs-to-utter/). All in all, we can't say it better than a certain Robert Larson: "The new device brings me satisfaction." And you can't put a price on that, can you? Available soon for $395.
