Very useful indeed.
Thanks for clearing that up for me, Harry. The information on this device is a bit sketchy, isn't it? I couldn't find anything about which formats will be possible to convert to this sideshow format, for instance. To me, it looks like a concept rather than an actual device in the pipeline. Hopefully, this is not another "Kindle". Well, we can always hope ...
Cheers,
