No need for the dry sarcasm. I'm guessing you're "an IT person"... My point about the price will be even more relevant during the vicious recession that's beginning to unfold. People will not have $100's laying around to spend on luxuries.

I'd like to see you flip a newspaper page in less than two seconds. Newspapers are cumbersome to turn.

You're absolutely right. That's why no one carries around a laptop, ipod or cell phone either. It's funny that you would say people won't buy a device valued over $50 for fear of loss and then name an item that fits that exact description.

Where are you guys coming up with prices, do you just pull them from thin air? Additionally, those who are bashing (slow load time)please give it a rest this thing is unlike any other reader out there on the market. I love the comment it won't catch on with the public unless its under 40 dollars...are you insane??? Subscribing to a newspaper is on average 200 bucks a year. What would drive the marketing on this product would be content at a cheap price.

At first sight, I tought ... hum ... nothing that my Sony Reader cannot do, more likely to break, takes more space in my bag. Then I saw the music score on it ... aaarhg ... I want one !!!

Projected retail price is about the cost of the kindle: $350. WANT!

I wonder for how much this one will go. If it has about the same functions as current e-readers, it might go for around $700-800. Especially if they mention it is 'business-oriented'. Current business oriented designs are between 500 and $1000.

They will not catch on with the public until they can be bought for under $40 - $50. If it costs anymore than that, people will be too afraid to carry them around on trains, buses etc. for fear of losing them. They're a fantastic idea though. I'm confident that when prices come down and a few problems are ironed out (such as slow page turning) their numbers will explode and soon people will wonder "how did I ever cope before?" - like the iPod. Advertisers will have a field day, too.

I doubt it will ever get sold for under $100, so don't get your hopes up! I bet the starting price will be around $800,and might drop down to 200 in 32 to 3 years. By then the color readers are available, however, I prefer B&W over color.

this thing is pretty awesome, they just need to make the frame black instead of two shades of beige - blechh!
