....

Since the Neo announcement I have spent more time over there, and even if I buy an Onyx the BeBook forum is a good place to get help and exchange ideas on the same device. Perhaps I'll have to let the iPad hysteria die down and then I'll see the light!
I wouldn't buy one from Bebook until they offer a cover (even if only seperately) - at least not when I can get it elsewhere at about the same price, with a cover. In any case, I'll still wait for the hands-on and opinions.

As for the iPad, I'll wait and see, too, but if it's rather like a big iPhone/Ipod Touch, then I'm not sure I would like it at all. I'm not sure if it would add enough value - especially not at that price. It's just like the iPhone; it's a just bit too expensive to be worth it. A colour screen would be nice, but I'd rather wait until I can get a device I can read European sized comics on - like my Asterix collection
