I can only wonder kind of weird feature they'll put into a Tricorder.
I suspect the difference between the two is going to be night and day.I've already got the Vegas ST experience communicator, but I just might have to get this too and sell that.....
I think that that's still a 3D render, all the metal still has a satin finish that is way to uniform for die cast aluminum.\Here are some high res shots I have obtained of the proto-type. It looks really nice! They have even simulated the vacuum formed pulled Kydex look in the shells. My only complaint is that it has the wrong hole pattern in the mic grill, I hope they fix that detail for production.
Quick photo comparison with Alpha.
