Video: Palm Pre’s Touchstone dock’s amazing grip

Whether it uses carbon nanotubes to mimic geckos’ feet or not, there’s no doubt that the surface of the Palm Pre’s inductive Touchstone charger is really, really impressive. It’s doesn’t feel gummy or tacky, either.

    That’s cool. Does it stick if you get it wet?

    Palm needs to market gloves and slipper-socks that have that on the soles and palms, then. Even if I’m stuck with my old jesusPhone for a while, I can get some schweet Palm schwag.

    I’ve had a mousepad-sized piece of that material on my car’s dashboard for 3-4 years now. Washing it with soap diminished its effectiveness, but rinsing it with alcohol perked it back up to nearly-new condition. It was a sample from a materials conference.

    Aargh, Vimeo! From this supposedly 1:14 video I got 10 still frames (4 after the talking stopped) in six minutes thru my cable modem / wifi / 700GHz G3. Video formats that aren’t either least- common- denominator, or adapt to their environment, um, i don’t like so much on web pages, personally.

    Nice sticky rock. It should look like one of those stone Buddha palms doing maybe a Vitarka mudra.

    Yeah, er, stone temple palm pilot.
