Robert,
Great to see we're finally nearing the launch of the Hanlin V5/Bebook mini/Astak Pocket Pro.
Since I last posted I've acquired a new iphone 3gs and it has changed my perspective again on what I need from an ereader.
The iphone goes with you everywhere and has both wifi and 3G so my previous need in an ereader for wireless connectivity has gone completely after using the following on the iphone - safari, wikitap, NYT, google news, google mobile, bloomberg.
All I want now is a cheap, user friendly, fast device that reads books and nothing more (although text search and capability for a built in dictionary akin to Stanza on the iphone would be very welcome).
To this end the Pocket Pro meets all my needs and it's a bonus that it remains pocketable whilst still having a much bigger screen than the iphone.
I really hope and have a good feeling that this device will be a success. Now bring it on already .............
