Is CommandeROR ready for this?

I know I am!
Me too! Me too!

According to this article, "There was only one prototype available at Plastic Logic’s DEMO booth and their employees were VERY protective of it." So sadly, it looks like it'll be a while before there exist more than one of these things...

Here's another video. Among the new information in this one:
  • It will be officially announced in January
  • "Battery life measured in days, not hours"
  • "It has instant-on"
  • "Less than a third the weight of the Macbook Air" [i.e. less than a pound]

Dale, where's this wiki page you speak of? I can't find it.
