It's kind of like fishing. First, you tell people exactly what you are doing, and what manner of reaction that is anticipated. Next, you follow through, drop the line in the water with the hook fully baited. This is where it gets interesting - you've actually informed the fish that you are fishing, and that the item on the end of the line is bait. Amazingly, the fish start climbing all over themselves to not only take the bait, and impale themselves upon the hook, but while still attached to the hook, they insist on telling you that it is, indeed bait, and they had the need to point it out to you.You guys crack me up.

Go check the Merriam Webster dictionary, and again, don't point out other people's mistakes without checking to see if you're right first.

I believe MP3s would also be correct, but it is absolutely correct to use apostrophes to indicate the plural if the word is an acronym. Just go ask Strunk and White. And don't start arguments if you're wrong in the first place! The guy who said that MP3′s is correct to pluralize MP3 is correct.

The purists would say the apostrophe is unnecessary, and they're right. The evolving grammarians would say that any convention that is widely held by the population of a given language is the correct convention, and they're right. Put MP3s or put MP3's and you will find support on either side. The biggest question is: which one will win out in the end? Because after 20 years, no one will give a rat's ass about your current opinion concerning the damn apostrophe after MP3.Concerning the phone, nice post, nice pic, and a feasible design. A lot of the concept work done out there is purely imagination without regard to feasibility. This phone could be out in a year using today's technology. If it does what they say, I'd be in line to buy. It’s amazing how many people didn’t understand that justjoeindenver’s comment was loaded with sarcastic humor.

I mean, i could open up photoshop and not only give it a luminous red band but also make it change colors based on your mood, and project holograms, and, what the hell, run on cold fusion. It's a concept phone. It reflects no engineering skill or technique, no technological research, nothing beyond someone with a tablet trying to submit work to their supervisor to fill their CRs for their design company.

The apostrophe can be used to
-show possessiveness (Jack’s dog)
-omission (cannot > can’t)
-some plurals like plurals of letters (i’s, b’s) for clarity, and of short words (noes could be no’s, yesses could be yes’s) and acronyms, simply because it’s more elegant and a tad more blasé.
