I did not really like the movie. But yes, the Tablet PC product placement in that movie is as prominent as the Lexus placement in "Minority Report". But when I think about it, why does a professional hit man need Tablet PC at all? Everything he does can be completed on a Smartphone! Plus better mobility (you would not lose it to the taxi driver) and always-on GPRS networks."</i><br /><br />Michael Yuan in his blog has raised an interesting thought. How come movie makers are not using the Smartphone as a prop. :? I would like to see the SMT5600 and the MPx220 in the movies playing the role of the sidekick. :lol: Can you think of any movie where the Smartphone could have played an excellent role?

I think the MPx220 would make an excellent explosive device. Heck the insides of it should be good for something!

I was inspired by spy movies and '24' when I came up with the interface for CityTime Alarms (see link). I've waiting for a call from Hollywood to see it running on a smartphone strapped to a bomb on the big screen!! :D
