One thing I think everyone is missing so far is that it hasn't been approved yet. If you follow the Link to the USPTO site it says it hasn't even been assigned to a case worker yet.
zyro out.
So far all the comments from people about how useless the ebook is, don't own them. I have one, and i wouldn't want to live without it.
I never upgraded to the 1150 software so i'm not stuck with the crippling DRM, I can use the rocket librarian(and a few other software tools) to make anything into a.rb file
I can use it any light, the battery last so long i can go a week without charging it, i can even toss it in a zip-lock bag and take it in the bath with me.
I think i bought maybe 5 books from gemstar, the other gazillian i found online. There *are* ways to find current books online, many of which find their way into to HTML or TXT format.
I think the best part is that i don't have to lug around a giant book. I tend to read tomes, or sometimes just a large series. couple of thousand pages, and it's the size of 200 page paperback. I've got a 64 meg smartmedia card in the thing, when i go on vacation, rather than the stack of books i usually take, i dump a large selection on the card and go.
And the whole get a PDA thing, i just don't use a PDA, I've owned a newton and a palm 7, and as cool as they were, i just never used them, i'd enter my addressbook, and occasionally play drug warz. thats it. i'm just not a PDA person.
What we really need to see now is a REB Hack, someone needs to figure out how to reset all those locked up 1150's back to open and free 1100's. Then all will be well with the world.
that was long winded, sorry,
josh.
This is the best remote software i've found for a windows machine, and i haven't seen it once in the comments so far http://www.remotelyanywhere.com/
