I was actually on the live unboxing event watching and talking with Chippy.
The device uses linux, and can be modified to use a version of Mer (for you 770/800/810 folks).
The ebook reading application is FBReader and you can rotate the screen and go full-screen with it.
I'm going to buy one tomorrow I think. I've been looking at so many devices lately but I think its perfect for me (after the UMPC Portal demonstration today I was sold). I might wait until they do an official first impressions post before I take the plunge. I know I've been talking about getting this or that device for a long time - but this is it! Finally, a great LCD ebook reader for us backlit loving folks!
