I have been keeping an eye on the Asus EA800 because I was looking for another e-reader that was also a good note taker. I already have an e-ink e-reader (sony) and I read my books on my phone (htc legend) as well but with me taking lots of notes in my work and wanting to go fully digital I was hoping to find a way I could combine old fashioned "scribe" note taking with digital storage and look up. The Asus EA800 is a potential option. However I have to say that I do not think it will get far, especially with the recent launch of the HTC flyer:

This looks to be scribe centric like the EA800 but colour and with all the connectivity you would want. Plus being HTC means a quality product with a proven UI. The killer question then comes down to battery life....until the Flyer reviews come in I will still be on the fence but it looks like the EA800 will not be taking over the world
I should also add that the touted compatibility with evernote out of the box with the HTC flyer could swing quite a few people. However, it is remiss of me not to mention the serious price differential which swings it fully back in favour of the EA8000. The HTC Flyer is looking seriously expensive but I haven't seen confirmed pricing yet
