		<description><![CDATA[Some short time ago a company, which shares it's brand mark with a well known boy-group from England, which in turn has led to some very interesting developments and lawsuits, has announced a very slim internet browsing device.

The news sites, the blogs, the forums and even the television were providing coverage all over, making it impossible not to know about this new device.
