thanks ! no news yet... i'm so impatient !!

i'm not sure whether you can put your own content on it, but why wouldn't they ? and i don't know whether the content will be free or not either.

what i DO know, from the general conditions of the test, is that if you do the test you get to keep the liseuse at the end of it, as well as all the content on it !!! (which might indicate that the content is not free ; i doubt any beta-testers would agree to pay for books and newspapers which they would have to give back after 3 months).

however, they also say you cannot transfer this content to another liseuse, to a pc, or to a phone, or any other media. and at the end of the test, you will not be able to add any more content from them, the download channel will be closed. during the test, the content will be downloaded to your telephone via the 3G network, and then transferred to the liseuse via bluetooth i believe.

anyway, of course if i'm selected i'll let you know everything in detail ! there is at least one other person on the forum who signed up for the test, so even if i'm not part of it maybe he will be.
