I must admit I slowly become a bit confused about the coming(?) device from Asus. Last year it was anounced to be DR 950 model, early this year they showed DR 900 and the fuzz was about 900 only from then on with a slight rumour that it's a new code name for it. Now Qt says DR 950 running their application and be out Q4 2010.

So is there going be a single model or maybe two of them? The latter would make more sens from the pricing point of view - assuming DR 950 being a better, reacher in apps and stuff model customer could choose between DR 900 and 950. If this is not the case and we will end up facing only DR 950 hitting market, my dears are that Asus price for the device was not going to be very competitive to Kindle 3 so they added some extra features to justify the price. Which from my very personal view and expectations is not the best news.

Anyway, time will tell.
