I think it's rediculous that this device came out without power management. A lot of it I'm sure has to do with the touchscreen, but I think there should be 2 modes- "Reader Mode" where it just changes the page and then hibernates(no CPU/touchscreen) until next page turn, and then "Active" mode where you can use WiFi, touchscreen, etc.
The sad thing is that they are so very close to the ideal device. A web browser, direct updating RSS, and proper power management would make this device so incredibly useful. It seems like such a small thing to do after building the whole device and launching it, to just make some software updates.
Anyhow, as it stands now, it's still a wait and see for me. Price and battery life are too close to notebook computers for it to differentiate itself in it's current incarnation.
