The latest toy that has caught my eye is the Agora Pro made by Kogan1. It’s specs are a laundry list of what I want in a phone:

  • it runs Android,
  • it has an FM receiver,
  • it talks wifi,
  • and it has a touch screen.

To top it off, the Canadian price after shipping is less than $375.

Now, if it just had a “democratically depose Stephen Harper” button, I’d pre-order one right now.

Footnotes
  1. Okay, it probably isn’t made by Kogan, but it’s being marketed by Kogan, which is close enough for my purposes.

I dreamt that I had bought one. The dream was boring/realistic enough that I didn’t think to question it until about half way through breakfast.

I guess that what happens when you spend 11 hours a day in front of a computer working on a never-ending thesis.
