Why isn't that an embarressment?? At least with the SP, someone might have mistaken it for some sort of PDA before knowledge of it's existence became well known. This takes it back to classic "it looks exaclty like what it is, a toy". I can understand you liking it's appearence, but I'm pretty sure if you pulled that out in public people would think exactly the same thing as if you pulled out an SP. "Well, I THOUGHT that person was on the ball, but they are playing games in public..." The majority of people, non-gamers, aren't going to notice or even care about tiny little cosmetic issues (from their perspective).
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
