i-wood 3B — Clarke's Third Law* in action
Long story short: Not a splinter group but, rather, the new new thing in telecommunications.
Features like Phone, Mail, Web,
Music, 3B and Touch.
Can your device survive a thousand foot drop?
Didn't think so.
From the website:

i-wood 3B
With our exclusive 3B* technology, fast
connection speeds, support for those of us who live in reality, and our
all new applications, i-wood is the all-in-one solution you have been
looking for.
It will help you redefine your relationships with people
by showing them how truly irritating they, and their portable devices,
have become.
The All New i-wood with 3B Technology is individually silk screened onto environmentally sustainable bamboo plywood.
Because of this, each

a real analog process.

These folks are so all over it: they even have an App store up and running, with these Apps: Junk, Tiny Map, Useless Crap, Know-It-All, Meeting Ignore, Fantasy World, Tech Addict, Teleporter, Status Symbol, Garage Door Opener, Death, Timewaster, Beat Down, Boring, Invisibility and Friend-B-Gone.
Bonus: They're all free, the way we like it.
My fave is Teleporter (below).
This device is a perfect example of Clarke's Third Law.*
