$450 seems a bit steep as well, as mentally I am starting to reasses where the price should be, likely due to the original price estimates for the que, dr800, crunchpad etc.

I am leaning towards the que, due to it's ability to display letter sized docs without much reduction, and the file formats supported.

But I am reluctant due to the winCE OS, blah!

I bought an Iliad for $800 based on being able to get newspapers and such, as advertised, and was very disappointed by that never coming to fruition.

Then they redeemed themselves by giving users access to the OS for development, and that it was linux based.

I am still on the wall.
