I predict the next wave of tablets with those new Pixel Qi screens will become the most popular e-readers of 2010. It could run the free Kindle app, the free B & N reader app, Adobe, Word, web browsers, etc. Users could read almost any e-book format (.azw, .tpz, .epub, .mobi, .pdf, etc.) and purchase from a variety of e-book sellers, all on the same device. Students could read their textbooks without eye-strain, record lectures, take notes, write papers, watch videos, play games, and send e-mail all on the same device. With the wi-fi and back-light turned off, it could probably run on battery for a whole day. It would be nice to turn pages with a touch or a swipe and not have the annoying black screen refresh with every page turn. Page turns would also be much, much faster. The reader applications will only improve over time. At the right price with the right design, I might get one of those Pixel Qi screen tablets whenever they get released.
