MSI working on Tegra-based e-book reader for 2010

Oh Tegra, is there anything you can't do? Not only are you at the heart of the Zune HD, you're also the rumored silicon foundation underpinning next generation smartbooks, media pads, MIDs, and even the Nintendo DS. Now we've got MSI chairman, Joseph Hsu, peddling promises of an NVIDIA Tegra-based e-book reader that will be fully revealed in the first half of 2010 -- exactly as rumored. While no details have been provided, one could assume that a device with that kind of power will be doing more than just refreshing electronic ink on a single display slab, particularly with dual-display e-book readers now the norm.

haha Thomas how we love you

overkill. i wish they'd think up these concepts and implement them ONLY AFTER there's a 8.1"-9.6" e-ink reader (for academic (JSTOR/REPEC/Journal) )PDFs, the types college and grad students spend tons of money and paper printing out (only to throw away once the paper/thesis/dissertation's done), available in the market for $199 or less.

Where is RoboCop on a Unicorn when you need one?

Is the unicorn being used as an analogy that this device will be a fabled non-existent item living on people's minds and the Internet? Or something else I missed? Thank you.

i love unicorns and rainbows.

I note that the rumour of a Tegra-based e-book reader warrants the picture of a unicorn.

And yet, you've all but put your pre-orders in for the Apple tablet based on a picture of a SIM-card slot.
