companies could just release a few basic programs, a developing environment, and the required libraries, and let the open source community deal with language compatibility, calender and whatever application that the community needs? this could help reduce the price since the software developing would be cheaper and support would cost less!
"e-reader" to me define a device whose main purpose is reading. If go go adding apps and all, e-ink tablet would be more appropiate word.
