Now, just to get to current "manufacturer" (ETI) thinking the same thing...
They should just upgrade the screen (to use eink) and retain the touch screen with at least 16 grayscale (that is, until color eink becomes commercially viable!)

The problem with e-Ink is that you can't write on it. Yes, the Iliad lets you do so, but it doesn't work very well. You can put notations on the 1200 as easily and efficiently as paper. It also has color. It's still by far the best reader if you have to make written notes. We'll see how the new Iliad works, but I'm not very hopeful, as the current Iliad is pathetic.

And to a lesser degree (smaller screen and only 16 grayscale) the
eBookwise 1150 has the exact same look & feel and ability to write notes on the touch screen!
The REB1200's color and 8.2" screen are nice though....
