interesting for sure as the IPS panels are very impressive. But as the display is still a small format panel, I am not sure it's worth the $100 premium over the e-ink version as it's not going to display the books I actually need color to use. For that I must have at minumum 11"-12" panel with the page margins cut down from the print versions. On a small screen the text and images are simply too small.
But if this one works for a person, hey it's not that bad a value. The only advantage I see it having over the Archos is the IPS panel. The flood gates are supposed to be opening over the coming few months so I would say to sit back and see what emerges before plopping down the cash, it's not like the price is going to increase.
I am curious what they used for the layer on top of the IPS panel because the ipad is tough as hell compared to other devices. Is that tougher layer part of the panel tech? Or is it something special Apple used for their ipad?
