I would like to thank Chippy and ColdSun for their input on the device.
Having used both e-ink and LCD displays, I will tell you that there are benefits to both technologies; with both getting better and better as the months roll on.
That said, I am excited to be ordering the SmartDevices Q7 from MP4Nation.com, and will also give my responses from trying out the WinCE6, Mer, Q7-3.0 and Android OS/UIs
While the LCD display might not have a place in direct sunlight, chances are that it will prove it's worth in severely dark places and environments, like overnight flights, bedside (when your lady doesn't want the lights on), riding passenger in a car during night driving times, etc.
At the same time, the wifi functions, multiuse applications, and decent battery life enable the Q7 to be a decent alternative device to a techie's primary gadgets, as it can also be easily stowed in a techbag.
Personally, I intend to use this device alongside my DR1000S device, which also provides many features that I desire. But the Q7 is an attractive option for those who seek an alternative to the e-ink method of displaying ebooks.
I will personally subscribe to both methods, and I look forward to taking the plunge toward trying out the Q7 multipurpose multitouch device.
