I remembers me when I was looking for some free wifi in Madrid early this year. After locating a signal, I entered in a pub, went to the bar, asked for a beer, opened the portable keyboard, then mounted the Nokia 770 on it, and a waiter asked "that is a computer?". Not a PDA, but a "computer".
As for the e-ink, the reaction of my friends from humanities were mixed. They apreciated that it does not hum (humanities people are very sensitive to the humming of computers) and that it is a better screen that the usual LCD, but they also did some valid luddite-like remarks. We got also some discussion about how people hate technology because they usually are offered with defective products.
