The device is compared to an iPhone and Centro in the photos, and whoever got their disgusting fingers on it claims that the screen is less scratch resistant the the ... continued »

It's a bit more than I was hoping, but it looks like the Touchstone is going to run consumers a nice $70 in order to get the wonders of wireless charging for their Pre.
