Jul 22, 2009 - I hope this will help bring down the cost of Kindle. Google and Apple may be coming with something similar.

Jul 29, 2009 - Because it takes a certain technology that isn't fully functional yet

03veritas Says:

Jul 29, 2009 - A touch pad apple product isn't an e-reader although it probably can read documents. E-readers use a much different technology than LCD displays on computers

03veritas Says:

Jul 29, 2009 - 1)yes it is because it uses a plastic screen unlike easy to break glass screens in modern products today 2) yes it does have a mode of writing with annotations at the touch of your finger

Jul 29, 2009 - I've changed my mind completely on these readers. What I want isn't an Apple, Kindle, or Plastic Logic, because they are expensive and are only useful for one thing. What I want is a tablet that allows me to interface with my PC over the internet, or wireless. That way I can have all the power of my PC, with the mobility of a tablet. Surely this can't be too difficult to make or expensive? People are already making a $300 tablet to surf the internet.

Aug 16, 2009 - I had hoped a flexible version would be offered. Anyone know if this is in the pipeline?

Oct 19, 2009 - That's a prototype, the actual Que (being announced 1/7/09) has a lot of what you're talking about... 3G wireless, annotation/editing/markup capability, soft keyboard, and I believe a browser (at least in the works). Considering the iPhone is $300, a device w/ screen that large is probably going to be at least $600.

rocket881 Says:

Oct 19, 2009 - Plastic Logic isn't really competing with Kindle, they're marketing to business more than personal book reading, with spreadsheets, pdfs, powerpoint, etc.

rocket881 Says:

Oct 19, 2009 - WRONG. Check their website, 8/5x11 USEABLE touchscreen. You FAIL. Turn off your computer and disconnect from the internet, you're ruining it for the rest of us, you're a waste of bandwidth and keystrokes.

rocket881 Says:

Oct 19, 2009 - It's too fucking expensive you dolt.

carringtonblush Says:

Oct 19, 2009 - Yeah that was my point, electronics manufacturers should have put in more research sooner to develop a low cost business paper replacement already. Sorry to catch you at the wrong time of the month.

rocket881 Says:

Oct 20, 2009 - Yes, it's aimed at the US Market, common A4 (letter) size.

rocket881 Says:

Oct 20, 2009 - Again, you're a moron. It's TOO fucking expensive.. the technology wasn't mature, the processes weren't developed. You can't say "business should have put more into it sooner" ...business does what's profitable at the time, and they wait for RD to provide viable technology. They aren't going to sink resources into pipe dreams.

carringtonblush Says:

Oct 21, 2009 - There are several other electronic paper-substitute technologies the big manufacturers could have developed/bought out, not just this one, but they didn't - they under-invested in the whole business E-paper concept. Conversation over. Your comment that A4 and letter are the same size is also wrong, they are quite different. Try either getting your facts straight or toning down the abuse a little!

rocket881 Says:

Oct 22, 2009 - Could have developed/bought out? Well shit, YOU could have. China could have. But didn't and for very valid reasons, it's too fucking expensive and the technology wasn't mature, it was RISKY. I never said A4 and letter were the same.. I said it was aimed at the US market, common A4 (letter) size.. which are VERY close, and would both display at 100% on this device. God damn you are dense, or just have horribly poor reading comprehension, or both.

rocket881 Says:

Oct 22, 2009 - You're right, it's easy and cheap. You should be able to make one in your garage from toothpicks and bubblegum.

rocket881 Says:

Oct 22, 2009 - Why not a bottle opener? And a slot to store your change?

rocket881 Says:

Oct 22, 2009 - 1) is you know english?

Slegarthoth Says:

Oct 22, 2009 - rocket881 = Try hard but fail troll. You need intelligence to troll effectively *boy*.

carringtonblush Says:

Oct 22, 2009 - A4 is longer than letter by 0.7" - and narrower - and shrinkage between the two is actually very noticeable when photocopying. Most scientific journals publish on A4 and the abstracts often at 9 or even 8 point font - further shrinkage would compromise a letter screen-size device for my purposes and I expect for many others in Europe, Canada, Australia etc. in business/academia. So I hope the screen will be long and wide enough for both paper types, but haven't heard back from PL on that yet.

rocket881 Says:

Oct 22, 2009 - Ever heard of a VECTOR??? Or are you stuck in 1962 with direct ink drum copies?

rocket881 Says:

Oct 22, 2009 - You're right, and A4 publications NEVER use a margin.. seeing all that white space on your ELECTRONIC disply is crucial to accurate image replication and review. Go soak your head, maybe it'll come out with more sense.
