I'm looking forward to electronic ink based readers. Sony and some chinese company named Jinke will have them too. iRex is a spin off of Phillips.
- lower price point than PDAs or tablet pcs
- less bulky than laptops
- bigger screen than pdas
- electronic ink = better contrast / more readable text than LCD
- electronic ink = less power consumption than LCD = better battery life
- built in wireless / ethernet connectivity
- storage on an SD card
- ability to read HTML, PDF, text files, etc. Basically it's like an mp3 player for text.
It'd be pretty neat for students if they could just walk around with one of these, download their texts to them, etc. Sync RSS feeds in the morning and read them wherever and so forth.
If prices end up as high as the rumours say, they'll fuck the entire thing up.
