Well it takes 2 days to mention that sometimes products should be made simple yet cost effective so that it does what it suppose to do very well and not worried about other stuff.

Then Spring Design comes up with a concept about an ebook reader some what like what Barnes and Noble is coming up with but they are also throwing in android capability and wifi, 3g and bluetooth!

It features a 6-inch E-ink EPD (electronic paper display) and 3.5-inch LCD running Google’s Android OS for browsing the web or viewing video, audio, photos, and notes. It also packs a removeable SD card, speaker, headphone jack, and WiFi or 3G EVDO/CDMA and GSM radios. An interesting Duet Navigator feature even lets you toggle content captured on the LCD and present it back to the EPD to save on battery life. The device is planned for release sometime this year without any details on who might be involved in that exercise.

I am really torn by this.

  • I like the android 3.5 inch option. that smartphone OS platform could grow and you could have alot of good future productivity apps on it.
  • It doesn’t have a camera! Swell! can bring to secure sites!
  • At 6 inch it presents a good reading area.
  • It looks a serously good all in one device

Negatives

  • This could cost a bomb
  • Its not gonna do everything well. Meaning you might not have a good overall user experience
  • The battery life might possibly suck.
