I bitch because I almost like it. It comes a step closer to the ideal functionality but takes a few steps back, which is annoying: if it was paper-size, or it had color, it would be a killer. Right now it feels like an also-been rather than a killer app. Bear in mind this is a product that's probably a year from market, but is showing no significant innovation.
One thing it might be is an Irex killer, it's half the price of the DR800 and does much of the same things.
EDIT: After reading up on reflective LCDs I think these LCDs just look really bad (like, goddamn terrible) on video in demos due to the harsh specular lighting and low ambient causing the reflectivity to wreak havoc with the display. In actual use they must be better since people are so happy with them.
