(CNN) — In the summer of 2007, two Palestinian groups — Fatah and Hamas — fought street battles in Gaza. Fatah, loyal to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, was losing. And a U.S. diplomatic cable indicates that “desperate, disorganized, and demoralized” Fatah members appealed to Israel to attack their rival. The cable quotes the head of the Israeli Security Agency, Yuval Diskin, as telling U.S. diplomats, “They are approaching a zero-sum situation, and yet they…

If “danger” is your middle name and yet “caution” a favorite word, you’ve probably already got an ugly old emergency radio buried somewhere in your car. Today, Eton’s unveiling a model that you might actually feel comfortable using in public without disaster having to strike first. The solar-powered Eton Raptor boasts a slender, 11-ounce carabiner-like design that seems positively packed with tools, including the typical (AM / FM / WB radio, compass, LED flashlight), the adventurous (altimeter, barometer) and the plain ol’ useful (audio line-in, bottle opener). It’s also got a USB port for charging gadgets from the internal 1800mAh battery and takes splash-proof cues from the Eton Soulra .

PhoneArena obtained these pics from an anonymous tipster, who says the device has an 800MHz processor much like the T-Mobile G2, and while we can’t infer much more about the internals than we have before , there are a few new things to note: HTC Sense is alive and well, there’s a particularly large camera module buried in the smooth plastic back and a headphone jack up top, and it appears there’s a pair of status LEDs for Caps Lock and Function Lock right above the keyboard. See two more pics of the device at the source link below, while we wait for Sprint to own up.
