The bit about Apple at the end of the article really spoiled the entire article. The article is entitled The late 2008 E Ink Readers and Apple isn;t bringing out an eink based device. So why is that bit of nonsense in there? The iPhone/Touch are both LCD based. LCD is not eink. So please take that mess out of the article which was a good article up to the point where the last two paragraphs about Apple totally spoiled it. I am sick and tired of people comparing eink based readers with iPods. They are not iPods and never will be. So give it a rest. This is just another in the lone line of Apple is better then everyone else.
