The devices that will be available at the end of 2010 will be larger sized, touch screen, and marketed for businesses.

I agree with sweetpea. I think the B&W market will expand, and by the end of 2010 we'll start seeing more reports of color devices that will go to market "any time now" (ala Plastic Logic), but I think it will be 2011 or 2012 before we see a mainstream color device.

Keep an eye on Qualcomm's Mirasol technology.

I'm also jealous of kazbates, and look forward to hearing her report.
