Gizmodo, a rather arch gadget blog, has this post about the possibly impending announcement of an iPod phone and iPod video player, written in the style of a formal Victorian missive.

These two devices, of which much has thus far been said, may change the manner in which an active Citizen goes about their Business. By allowing a Man, even Churchmen, to view moving pictures on any Mode of Transport, be it Horse or Horse and Carriage or even the Demonic Steam Engine, we cause the downfall of Common Courtesy and Decency, encouraging every Uncouth Urchin to Pine for an iPodde and allow women, whose Modesty and Virtue have thus far been already Besmirched by the “Hot Tea Modulation,” which, when applied to the Puzzle “Grand Theft Auto: Derbyshire” will cause and image of the hero and a woman of contended virtue to sit, unchaperoned, in a Cafe where, as rumour has it, they share a Sachertorte.
