Two very interesting links:

http://jkontherun.com/2009/05/30/wha...er-to-succeed/

http://www.hellosmartbook.com/index.html

Why this might be a darned good ebook reader if they got it right would be:

Released this fall - can directly compete with launch of bebook 2, next sony etc on a direct price comparison
price - may well be less than current netbooks - see jkk's view
screen designed to be used outdoors/ in sunlight - see video
operating system should be instant on
should be very simple to use
multifunctional - ie web, documents, gps etc unlike a dedicated reader
should have options on format including touchscreen tablet
all day battery life
could probably be able to port fbreader and calibre

This may never happen of course but it's one of those things that if they got right........
