no was manufactured in China, I think still in FoxConn. The USA address was for marketing ploy. While the idea is good (dual lcd/e-ink), the hardware inside (apart from Eink and the wacom digitiser) is the same 30 dollar board (avenger penguin lite) like in sheeva plug, old power hungry CPU (hence reduced battery life even compared with a nook color), bad implementation of the governors, 30 cents cameras, original inflated sales price.... etc.
so definitely a state of the arch device, not spy tech.,. But does what I need it for.
And thanks to ktwombley and pablob (not entourage) a much better device.
