The ebooks part looks great. Finally, books can look as good on screen, as they look on paper.

Wish the screen was a bit bigger - 11" maybe. Then it would be closer to the size of a hardcover, and PDFs will be comfortably readable. As it is, it's the same size as my KDX, which is too small.

I am puzzled by both the lack of camera and Flash. Stupid decisions, IMO, which may cost it sales.

It seems you can scribble on screen, which may lead to plausible note-taking apps.

I sure hope there's a way to integrate a dictionary with the the book reader. There are some great dictionaries for the iPhone, which would be perfect for the purpose.

Multitasking..., yeah, Apple should really get with the program here, even if it's not a deal-breaker for me.

For myself, I can't wait to see it, but without Flash, I don't think I'll actually buy it.

I am hoping that in another 2-3 months there are a few Android competitors out there, to push the concept forward. While Apple and Google are in a p***ing match, maybe Google will come up with a larger, IPS-screen tablet, just like they did with the Nexus One....
