I mean you have the whole student market there you could really sell on a device like this by showing all the cool multimedia features, but also that they can buy their textbooks in cheaper e versions and highlight and scribble on them just like they do their textbooks currently.

As well as being useful for anyone that has to read and mark up documents in their work, be it researchers, teachers grading/proofing papers etc.
great ideas, especially for the academic market. but who's to say you can't do all of that without a stylus and without handwriting recognition? apple's already implemented the most intuitive cut/copy/paste for touch devices (or almost any device). don't you think they could modify this with greater capabilities or some third party could make some apps where you can do that and simply type in notes via the virtual keyboard as opposed to sribbling? just a thought...
