I don't claim to be representative. I do know what I want to view with a device, and that the content requires better than 12 bit color to render acceptably.

The question is what sort of content the broader market will want to view, and whether this will be acceptable for them.

I think the biggest determiner of demand is going to be the price. If these devices are introduced at iPad level prices then I agree, demand will be low at first. But, if they come in at 50% or so, I think there will be interest.
If it doesn't do what you want it to do, it will be a bad deal regardless of how cheap it is. We'll see whether what this does is what enough people want to do. I suspect it will suit a niche market at best.
