I should have read the comments before voting. I did not vote for a colour screen as I expected this would lead to an LCD device. Yuck!
A colour screen would be great, technical documents, magazines, etc. but an LCD screen is no good. I've been using the iPad this last week and it's rubbish when you take it any where near direct sunlight, which means even staying away from the window of my local coffee shop.
EPUB, PDF and perhaps RTF/DOC support would probably cover most of the documents I'd want.
I'm in two minds about a touch/stylus screen. I know there a advantages but it's not a deal breaker for me. Although....
Translator dictionaries would be fantastic feature, though I guess some sort of touch screen would be needed for quick access. In this case I'd prefer stylus, that way I don't have to worry about stray thumbs catching the side of the screen....which still happens on the iPad and Sony Touch.
Long Battery...I've got so used to these E-Ink devices that I find it frustrating now to have to keep charging this bloody iPad!
