I do very much want a larger screen for reading tech docs at work. It's not so much of an emergency that I have to buy a DX right now. I'm curious about the new PixelQi screens. I've been wanting a little netbook or tablet so if it works well enough for tech docs, I'll probably get something like that. I suppose I could just get both but I'd have eco-guilt. Besides the PixelQi would have color and likely better annotation options. I was sad to hear them say that they're having trouble with touchscreen. Ideally I'd like to be able to scribble in the margins.

So, I'm not really waiting on the MR reviews, but I am waiting.
