What do you say, color screens anyone?  |
absolutely required if I am around long enough to get a large format reader. In fact I will not buy a large format reader until we have decent quality color. My reference texts need color for images and in general. I don't really need photo quaility just good enough to see images faily well. But that is gonna come down to the white level the panel can achieve in the end.
I would buy a PixelQi device if that was a viable option and could run a version of K4PC in a slate type device. Of course I would prefer one of the epaper panels but gotta go with what one can get and use rather than wait and lose the advantage such a device represents to me and my earning a living. And I want at least a 12" panel not a teeny 9.7" panel...I did that on my laptops back in the late 80s early 90s...don't need to go there again. In my case even a 2-3lb device is an improvement compared to lugging around 1000lbs of books and of which I would need at the drop of a hat or have to recall from memory the info in each and every one of them...and I actually did at one time but these days not so much it seems.
But, yes, color is probably my best wish...the xword thing was me just thinking about my basic reader and a feature I would like added so I don't need to carry around and extra device every time I wanna take a walk down to the cafe or Starbucks though I do still love my Sony Clie nx73v, still running strong after all these years, about 6-7 years now. Otherwise I don't find much more I need on my K2i. Even the memory will be enough it seems.
