This would make a fantastic magazine delivery device.
B&N (actually eReader at present) have a beta stand-alone Android Reader, and the Nook runs Android. Amazon probably has an Android Reader in the works. I was arguing that vendors needed to get with the Android program based on momentum in the cell phone market, but I was looking in the wrong direction. Android is the clear early leader in the non-Windows tablet race.

Not a bad device. But the screen seems to be a compromise solution. The b/w is not as good as e-ink and the color screen is also 1-2 years behind regular netbooks/laptops. Then again, it may be good enough for some who just must have an all-in-one device --- then again, you will still need a phone! Well, it is a first step, in a few years we will get something great. I will stick with dedicated reader and laptop/phone for browsing for the moment.
