I saw one in an Indigo store yesterday. I really wasn't very impressed, but I didn't really spend much time with it (I had gone in to eyeball the Aura One, which they didn't have on display ). For myself, I would stick with the GloHD. The Aura 2.0 is bigger/bulkier than the GloHD (in terms of device size, not screen size). That is a negative to me, but it might be a plus to someone else. Nothing jumped out at me as particularly special or interesting, but as I mentioned, I didn't spend too much time with it and it's hard to get a good feel for something with only a display model under fluorescent lights to judge by.

So what's the difference between the original Aura and the Aura 2.0? Besides minor cosmetic changes like a different bezel and the power button being moved from the top to the back.

I think it's quicker to name the similarities: 6" screen and 1024x 768 resolution.

But, I think the big difference is the change in the touch. The original had capacitive touch and the new one has IR.

Hmmm... I really like the capacitive touchscreen on my Aura.
