don't be a fool Laz. Wait for the bugs to get worked out and save money for the price drop. I know you can do it.

you know the price is bloated as heck, they can't really be much more expensive to make than a gameboy DS or something and those go for $129 on sale. A PSP 3000 goes for $169. ereaders are a ripoff tbh

299 is my price. When it hits that, I'll be on board. By then I would bet that 3G will be built in and it will have several more features. It baffles me the thing does not have USB.

I still wonder how much of the e-reader prices are the wireless connections through the phone companies that you aren't being charged a monthly fee for, unlike this device where you have to.

Second, you're absolutely correct. Apple isn't making any money off of their quicktime plugin playing internet media. But that IS their platform. Well, technically, H.264 would be the platform and it's not theirs. Anyone can use it. Quote:
Anyway, flash on a desktop is utterly annoying, ridiculous, and completely closed-off. Click2flash on safari is one of my new favorite plugins. I wish flash would die on the desktop experience too. Flash is the older brother of Silverlight and I freaking cannot stand Silverlight. They both should be done away with in favor of open standards and HTML5, which is gaining momentum feature-wise every day. Quote:
They did go out of their way to simply work around flash and Youtube. The whole YouTube app is evidence of this. Quote:
No one is saying you have to conform to them. Look at Amazon MP3. It took off when they came into the market. At least for the nerds who know what DRM is. [Ironically, they took off for the lack of DRM yet Amazon incidentally uses massive DRM on all books.] Quote:
