Other small slate type devices:
Hands on Dell Slate -- runs Android and the problem there is reader software but as the year goes on, hopfully we will see all the major players develop software for it. I believe there is a version of FBReader for Android under development and running.
HP Slate Device -- My personal favorite here because it runs Win7 which means there will be pretty much any reader software you can ask for...I do not believe it is daylight readable nor is the Dell either but I might be incorrect...watch some of the related videos after the horrid HP 17-sec video...sheesh why evne bother with a 17-sec video?
