I think you're more likely to see entire businesses (hospitals especially) and educational institutes adopt them than to see big usage among individuals. They're going to have to do a lot to convince biz/schools that there's more value and usefulness in these than a $250 netbook, though.

Still, nothing like a Kindle version for readability though.

Ideally, this gives you the functionality and comfort of an e-reader, but the robust power of an actual computer. We'll see, though.

Data entry keyboard confirms my feeling that they're marketing for industrial/workplace usage.

Easily connecting to projectors is huge. I wish that iPhones had that... hopefully subsequent models will. That's a huge deal for me, because i have students work with their iPhones all the time. If we could throw up their screen on the smartboard/projector that would be the shit.

Pretty kickass prices on data. 250MB doesn't seem like much, but $30 a month for unlimited isn't bad.

$30 unlimited 3G data
That's gotta hurt for iPhone users. How many data fees can you get hit with? AT&T too. How will their shit network handle more 3G? |
