gollark: As well as the standard 9-axis IMU, ambient light sensor, etc., GTech™ GPhone™ can read atmospheric bee concentrations, lightning strikes, the precise emission/absorption spectrum of objects and the atmosphere, changes to 15 fundamental physical constants, RAM contents of lesser computers, DNA, and bismuth levels.
gollark: GTech™ GPhone™ is compatible with all mobile network standards, including in-development ones, and even has a handy "wireless base station" mode to complement WiFi hotspot capabilities.
gollark: Unlike its bad competing phones, which only contain maybe 5 computers, GTech™ GPhone™ contains 10^16 using our patented hyperfractal computer nesting.
gollark: 0.03. But I haven't even gone through the advertising yet.
