Imagine a Gadget... [Sep. 11th, 2008|12:53 pm]
[Tags|]



An E-reading device that:
  • is huge (8.5x11!), suitable for magazines, newspapers, text books, comic books, and easy reading of literature

  • has a touch screen

  • has an onscreen, touch-screen keyboard for entering notes and marginalia

  • weighs one pound, rest it on your lap in bed, give it to your grandmother loaded with ebooks and the font size turned up...

  • makes the Kindle (one of my favorite gadgets, currently), look like a toy

  • reads dozens of file formats, including your Microsoft Excel and Word documents, for checklists, project management, or basic tablet-based computing

  • is still e-paper, meaning that the battery life could be WEEKS. Literally.

  • uses USB for loading files, (will probably support WiFi before launch)

Very, very cool.
