Translation: Still not as saturated as an LCD panel.
Not a consumer product.
Not going very far.

To me if it is light and fits in a totebag or a briefcase, I wouldn't find it annoying to lug around. even though I'm not sure that it is a device that I would be taking everywhere with me, like my Sony. I am a consumer, and I find it a very desirable product! Have they even said anything about price?
