THAT is a sweet prototype/mock-up device (the last is an actual photo of something working). Lots of potential...and using the LCD on the lower strip makes it look like a big Clie or Palm PDA with HWR (handwriting recognition), only on the LCD portion of the display, for notes...interesting twist on working around some of the limits of the e-ink displays of today.

I especially like the part on the final image that mentions the device is thought to be priced lower than the Kindle...interesting things in the next week or two...

EDIT: In fact to expand on the PDA idea...I would LOVE a reader that offered a big chunk of the functionality I have in my Clie AND worked as a reader...most of what I use my PDA's for does not need color. But an address book, IMAP email client, to-do list, and a few other organizer type utils would really be fantastic in a reader like this...
