[MovieZeal] The Dark Knight: In The Dark Knight, Bruce begins taking that to ever increasing extremes: escaping with captured criminals by being whipped out of skyscrapers by Skyhook, harnessing the power of thousands of cellphones to paint a sonar portrait of Gotham, and deepening his already-deep growl.
[Joystiq + [PlayStation]] Iwata: DSi not competing with cell phones, iPod: I own neither a DS or an iPhone (ironically I have owned both in the past but sold them both), but I must say that the fact that Nintendo is only now adding music playback after like 5 years is indicative of the threat they must be feeling from Apple. They're obviously trying to future-proof their product as these multimedia devices become all encompassing (ie, web, music, gaming all-in-one).

Aside from this perhaps "artistic" quality and intellectual content, it is still an object that was designed using cutting edge industrial processes for a mass market, with the chief intent of producing profit for Kartell.
