- some developer devices will come much earlier but not full featured together with a developer website
- developer devices will be shipped worldwide without mobile subscription
- first version will come with EDGE. We tried our best, but 3G is still too expensive and needs too much power. Will be an option later...
- we will not make a device with a bigger screen until the flexible displays are in mass production
- we think, Google Books access is a good idea
- the case design will change a little bit (to the better ;-))
- there will be case-color options, but not from the early beginning, White case makes the display-white look a little bit darker but the contrast better, black case does the opposite
- price will be definitively below 400,- Euro and going down while volume is going up ;-)
- we do a lot of work to make the case feel like the iphones case... let's see how far we can go...
- text input will be possible but not comfortable. Use a BT keyboard for heavy text work or use your notebook ;-) We will not try to make a notebook replacement or a web browsing machine with the device, it's a reader.
