I like the e-ink screen, but I can only adequately use it to read ebooks and not pdf files. I generally prefer the versatility of an lcd screen. And $499 is a decent starting price for a tablet. I'm a bargain hunter, though . . . I never buy electronic equipment at full price (it's a worse investment than even a car). As such, I'll have to wait for it to drop in price . . . in a couple months, this thing will be $299.

You know what else is cool about the ThinkPad?! BUTTONS! I have no idea why all the Android companies decided to join Apple in its War Against Buttons. The one thing I hate about the Iconia is you don't get much beyond a power toggle switch.
