Actually, I don't care about the OS. Well, it's not the main thing for me anyway. And I don't even prefer the iPad interface, given other good options. Having said that, I think it's only fair to acknowledge that the iPad and its interface does really look slick. And the advantage of Apple or Android is the extra battery life in conjunction with lots of apps and general responsiveness.
What I do really want is e-book reader application choice. It's all about a good PDF reading option. A full OS like Windows or Ubuntu would be ideal because of the added functionality, but for a reading device I don't consider it worth losing the extra battery life.
Btw, reflowable text already works fine on my Sony Reader and Palm Treo, so the main point of the hardware is the larger screen, battery life and storage.
And Chris... you're right -- there may be some incredible devices in 2025!!!! I sure hope so, and that we're all around to see it!
