About the screen:
I've owned an Asus dr900, had to return it because it's Sipix screen was too hard on eyes to study on it (plus, it did 30% of what it was supposed to do). Since I'm an e-reading enthusiast I did take lots of pictures to it.
Basing on these pictures + all the pics and videos I've seen about the JBC so far + the ereaders I still own and have known, I'm quite sure this screen is not suitable for studying hours on it (at least with a standard home/office lighting).
Even if you have the eyes of an eagle, there's a 100% certainty about the big difference in readability between this and the pearl of other 9,7".
Firmware: it can't even annotate, and there's no certainty it will be able to do it. When it comes to commercial stuff, I believe when I see, not before. I know how things went for all the other 9,7" touchscreen devices: none of them has been fully developed, none of them has had all the capabilities promised from the beginning, some of them remained very far from reaching them. I think it's enough to decide that waiting is wise, especially since the high price.
