But at the same time appears to be supported by the PW3 FW, so, we'll see...
Both would run on a new storage solution at the HW level. And a new mainboard (codename Duet), so, possibly an updated CPU?
I personally would love a new 'basic' model with page turn buttons. I still use my K4nt every night. I'd love one with a built in light.
