RobertB, I have to ask, if this new touchscreen technology is more expensive then the one you wanted to put in those models. If it is, then how much more expensive?
Can you give us more comparative info? What differencies are there? It looks extremely interesting.
But to answer your question: if it works same way as the previous touchscreen, means no special stylus needed etc, I am all in. I always wanted to have eReader with touchscreen and wifi (I think 3G is practicaly useless for me here so it's not important). I only need to decide what exactly to buy and how big a screen - bigger screen also means it can be less crash resistant then smaller ones, almost surely heavier, and certainly it needs more space then smaller devices (would you carry your PC around all the time, even if it was same weight as your mobile phone
)?
But as I said, I certainly want touchscreen, if the display has same clarity as without touchscreen and works... can't wait to have one.
