Wouldn't it be better if the screen was larger and integrated better or at least mounted with a proper dock instead of having the iPad cord dangling down out of the bottom?!
What does this say for the future of eReaders and tablets, especially larger format devices needed for reading technical manuals, that professionals such as airline pilots are having to suffice with this sort of arrangement?
If it's good enough for them, I suppose that means we will never have a proper consumer device that replaces textbooks.

I don't know, but I think the current generation iPad with proper PDFs can currently replace textbooks.
What is it that you think this combination can't do?
