please, explain why and what possible negative connotations protecting their design might have?
And, of course you make that comment while being aware they might not have permission to show the device because of on going negotiations with component mfg's, right? The design might still be awaiting final patent approval or any number of reasons they are not able to let the media show the device...heck, it could be as simply as the they have not settled on the final case design. There might even be an issue of infringement in the case design, we don't know and, basically, it does not matter since the thing will not be out for months yet.
No matter, as with the Que, I am not as thrilled with it as I was from my initial impression from the announcement and mock-up images. Anything so tied into a publisher like Hearst is pretty scary, even more so for people scared off of Amazon & the Kindle...Hearst was founded by a guy who could give a flip about honesty and the idea of privacy. I doubt their corporate culture is any different today that is was 70yrs+ ago.
