I'm just so incredibly angry right now...I don't need a book I have to reload every 3 days...
It means they are receiving the updates from the software companies, and are finally getting the power management working, although not at 100%.

Like i have said before, one of the big hold ups was the delay from software companies.

do you have any Info on what kind of usage leads to those 10 hours? I'm planning on reading only (PDF or .txt/htm, I don't care, I can convert the books i'd like to take along) and not using the stylus, WiFi or anything...so maybe I have achance of actually reading riverworld to the end without recharging...?
If i understood correctly it's the time the device should last reading content, not just lying around doing nothing.

About the "release date thing"...does the "but" at the end of your sentence signify something like "but check the homepage in 5 minutes and the webshop will be online"
...:-)
Lets just say it seems to be a very promising but, but...


Also i was told the extra power needed to read from CF/SD should not be very noticeable.
