New details about the upcoming Asus readers.

Personally I think the webcam, speaker and mic are overkill, that will most likely increase the price for features that most won't be looking in an eReader. If I want PC functionality I'll buy a PC, not an eReader.

And I'm puzzled about reports that it will have color display. For what I know color eInk doesn't exist yet which mean the Asus reader would have to be LCD which wouldn't be good.
