Oh, they already exist and are called TABLETS.
Tablets are cooler and can/could do everything you ever need (more or less). Thats why they sell better than ebook readers.
Same thing years ago with cellphones. In the beginning they had black and white screens. Perfect readable under sunlight. But colour is cooler than just b&w. Then every cellphone have been delivered with colour screen. Even "outdoor" cellphones. Which have been unable to use in sunlight...
Cooler but unusable for the purpose they have been produced for.

Sony have done similar with cameras, they've made a waterproof camera that has a touchscreen so can't be used properly when wet!
I'd disagree with others who say the 350 couldn't sell as it would be giving less for more. I'd argue that it's givinig more - pocketability - than the T1.
