On the back cover is a camera, and it might charge through an inductive pad, like the Palm Touchstone charging dock for Pre.

Can a mere domain name be defamation? Glenn Beck says yes – Ars Technica
Can a mere domain name be defamation? Glenn Beck says yesHugely popular conservative talker Glenn Beck has sicced his lawyers on a satirical website that’s been up for a week, but the attorneys may have a point on this one.
