If I saw a killer tablet I would leave e-ink for LCD. e-ink is "softer" on my eyes but I am willing to move away.

I bought an Archos 704 WiFi 3 years ago that would surf the web on a touchscreen and store and play 80Gig of movies in 16:9. I really had hoped that media players would have come far beyond the ipad by now. It's low rez, and 4:3 ratio are mystifying to me. I can only imagine they are planning an "ipad HD" in a few months to fix that.

I hope the pace of media tablet development has increased and that in 3 more years I will have a huge palate of options. I will be happy with my DX until then.
