Perhaps this is due to the form factor that is much more pleasing to the eyes, although it works on a rather similar concept. This is nothing but a treadmill on wheels, where you run and run like a hamster on a never-ending track, although with the added advantage of arriving at a destination a couple of miles down the road. Perfect for riding over to the nearest Salvation Army to dispose of it once you're sick and tired of the experience, having decided to settle for a bicycle instead.

Almost had a heart attack. I was in the other room and she screamed that she spilled water on it. I ran over, grabbed it, flipped it upside down, turned it off, used an air compressor and paper towels to get whatever water out. Let it off an open overnight and everything appears fine.

She can go back to using her 5 yr old hp brick of a laptop. My MBA is off limits.
And 2 months ago she broke her ipod (gift from me) running on a treadmill.

Some people aren't meant for gadgets.
