“This is the old Vercel unit repackaged with a different name. It won a prize at CES in ‘02 or ‘03 for most innovative or something but never shipped. Anyway the rights were sold by Vercel to Seamless.”
With a little bit of investigative journalism (very little), we verified the information (it won in 2003) and we even dug up one of the only publicity shots ever produced of the Vercel (which was officially dubbed the ED 1 and aimed at teens). Even more entertaining than the rehashed (but award-winning!) tech news, is that the S-Xgen it is also the brainchild of the creator of the most evil thing to ever roam the earth. Of course, were talking about the Furby (that “cute” little Gremlin toy from a few years back that was all the rage). The icing on the cake is Patrick Norton’s endorsement.
You can visit Vercel’s still working website here. You can trace our coverage of the FurPC (get it!?) here and here.
