The Tube Lamp conceived as a sly spoof of the expensive vacuum tube audio
amps. Standard tubular light bulbs are controlled by a current-limited dimmer
circuit that ensures that the bulbs last a long time and wont burn fingers.
According to Gizmodo, these bulbs can be purchased at your local home depot
store. Chrome controls include a knurled knob appropriated from a Fender
Telecaster electric guitar which can light up the room or be dimmed down
to create a mysterious night light.

According to a 1scr member post at 1scr
when the Palm One Tungsten | T5 is released it will come with Cobalt, 128MB
RAM, HiRes+, bluetooth, WiFi, and a 520MHz PXA270 chip. The slider will
be gone, and the D-pad will be Tungsten|C-styled. The battery is good enough
to survive a workday. Expect it in November.
The second model is the Tungsten|E2. It won't be released before April
2005, and surely won't have a HiRes+ screen. It will however run OS6,
have 64MB RAM, and the same processor as the Zire72. The built-in bluetooth
will be limited to 2 meter. The price will be around $250.
An OS6 upgrade will be available for the Tungsten|C and Tungsten|T3 a month
after the release of the Tungsten|T5. The Tungsten|C will still be sold
with OS5, but that will change as soon as the current model is out of stock."
