"cheap, easy to use, have color displays, and have a common platform for software and DRM"
NO DRM. I will only accept an open platform that will accept anything I currently have in non-DRMed .txt, .doc, .pdf, .rtf, etc.
What they SHOULD be doing is embedding something like damn small linux and letting the community add formats.
The Apple vs. The World DRM fiasco currently going on tells me that I will never accept less than absolutely NO DRM whatsoever (DRM=company lock-in, nothing more nothing less. It doesn't stop piracy one bit - check any torrent site to prove me right).
The big corporations just want to gouge me again and again, and I won't stand for it.
