I don't like glossy finish on any electronic product, it just lessens the lift time since it will most likely become scratched and end up looking a lot less attractive. The matte finish on the JBL is alot better for a portable device in my opinion.
At least they could provide a free case for it so it doesn't scratch that fast.
I thought I'd go for the black one when I first saw all the colors, but I kind of like the industrial look of the yellow one. The color also makes it hard to displace. But I don't know if I'd want to read outside with it since it might attract bees=P
Does anyone know if they use the same screen (will this model also have the flicker issue)?
Have they removed the dictionary?
At 2.07 in the video, is it the camera or the devie that squeaks? I hate squeaking plastic (and glossy finish). They should also have kept the unique page turn button that it JB/JBL have on the left side. Other than that, I love the design it looks attractive.
The JBL is still an attractive alternative though, and I guess thats good for Ectaco. Why make a perfect device and sell it for a reasonable price when you can get people to buy 2 devices with the demands spread out among the two? Same with the kindle and it's limited format support.
