Wow, they are really expanding the market.
Get a scope, then get the laptop (http://global.acer.com/products/notebook/fr3000.htm), then hopefully not to far in the future they will bring out a Toucam of their own.
It's all about trends people!!!

Being a Ferrari, you'd expect it to be a lot faster!

If we define F/4 as being fast, then I'm afraid WO/Ferrari haven't left the starting line. Looks more like a sports saloon than a racing spec considering its 66mm F/5.9. Love the marketing though. When is the F/30 4WD/Truck version coming out - designed for planetary use.

You need to ban these from Star Parties, cos they'll just bump other scopes out the way.
