ViewSonic is promoting multi-media devices at CES 2010, and this shot of their touch-enabled VPD550T clearly suggests it will read ebooks. Due to be out in Q1, it is projected to cost $200, and have 1080P HD quality output (albeit on an external screen... the device's screen is 800x480 LCD touchscreen), but no wireless connectivity is mentioned.

Also not yet mentioned is what OS it will run, or which ebook formats it can handle... so a lot is up in the air. But at a price of $200... I'd say, worth a look. (Hey, Nate, swing on over there and give 'em a good grilling!
