I know they have a number of font types and sizes and I do find it hard to believe you are typing on a computer screen and so you can read lcd screens, and you do have itouch and n800 , and they are small screens. I must be missing something , and you could have valid point, I must be missing it for some reason.
richman,

I assume you were addressing me so I will respond. I mentioned in an earlier post that I went to Best Buy and spent some time with the iPad. It was immediately apparent that something was not quite right with the font rendering. It is not my intention to simply talk evil about the device. I had high hopes that I could finally get a portable device with a larger screen (I dislike e-ink).

I have no problem reading on any of my other devices. None of these display the blurry nature of the iPad (at their relative sizes). The n800 is really great for a pocket device and the text is very sharp. My coworker has a Droid that has the same resolution. It is also very sharp and she loves it.
