So, of course I asked for a Sony eReader at Christmas because I was certain that Apple's iPad pricepoint would be, at minimum, $900 or so.
I have my eReader after years of reading on a PDA (Palms in various iterations, ending with the T|X.) I have discovered that I actually have more eyestrain with the e-ink technology.
Like may who have commented here, I have discovered with my eReader just how often I read in dim or less than optimum light. The jury is still out on the eReader for me, and I'm finding that I really do want an iPad. I will, however wait.
I got to test the Apple Newton (anyone else remember that thing), way back in the day. I remember thinking, "oh, this is the best Apple can do, I wonder what the rest of the world's brains will add to this?"
For a long time there was nothing, and then suddenly we had a PDA explosion.
I am hoping the next generation iPad comes out slightly smaller (the current one almost exactly measures two PRS 600's side-by-side). Or...even better, another developer will step up and the same thing that happened with the Newton/PDA thing will happen with the iPad.
Lastly, I want one because I'm a die-hard Mac person and, as someone else here said, it's pretty. <grin>
