Kindle in the wrong direction

Hi,

Thought people might like to take a look at this blog http://mis-asia.com/opinion__and__bl...rong-direction

BTW neat picture of the concept laptop from Asus ... a colour, dual screen e-book.

Quote:
This new device can only display in drab black and white (it has 16 shades of grey), cannot show videos and does not have a browser to surf the Web, nor can it send e-mail.

It seems to be deliberately attempting to become a totally separate device for reading digital versions of newspapers, magazines and text books only.
...........
There may be technical reasons, but I can’t help asking why the Kindle could not be a laptop with enhanced e-book reading capabilities, instead of an e-book reader missing many accepted laptop functionalities?
Must admit the blog has a point but I'll believe it when laptops become as light and as thin as my e-book.
