The product is cool, but I had little faith in them delivering it. ]]>Feb 23rd 2010 9:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/
I thought the nook was an awesome design, that failed to deliver (performance, limitations on Android, etc.). Based on Engadgets hands on, it was everything the nook should have been and then some. I thought $350 was a bit much for an ereader, but I was willing to save for it, because I really think this was the best ereader I've seen to date.

Oh Spring Design, don't let me down!]]>Feb 23rd 2010 9:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/Feb 23rd 2010 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/
Performance issues?? Have you used a nook since the latest update? They have all but disappeared... The nook is a great device, and certainly a step in the right direction, when compared to Sony / Kindle.

I was looking forward to the Alex as well... but the delay caused me to look elsewhere... and I'm glad I did. ]]>Feb 23rd 2010 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/All I have is second or third hand information on either device. I do know that every single hands on that I could find on the alex stated that it was snappy, or noted that it is faster than the nook. If the nook fixed that issue, more power to them.

More importantly, the ability to use any Android Marketplace app (sans voice and GPS) is a really cool feature that the nook currently doesn't have.]]>Feb 23rd 2010 10:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/Feb 23rd 2010 9:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/Feb 23rd 2010 10:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/Feb 23rd 2010 10:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/Feb 23rd 2010 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/Feb 23rd 2010 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/]]>Feb 23rd 2010 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/Feb 23rd 2010 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/Feb 23rd 2010 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/Feb 23rd 2010 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/it might be scaring apple investors?]]>Feb 23rd 2010 2:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/Feb 23rd 2010 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/]]>Feb 23rd 2010 12:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/Feb 23rd 2010 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/

I was checking all day yesterday, ready to pull the trigger on this. What concerns me less than the product, is the company. If the above is correct and it's 10 weeks, they knew that before yesterday. Why not a note on their website? Why not a press release a week earlier? I sent an email asking if it was still going to be released yesterday - no response. I'm sure they'll be more than happy to take my money, but is this a foreshadowing of what tech support will be like? if so, I'm out. If it's not 10 weeks and it's merely a few days, I may still buy but the lack of communication really has me concerned.]]>Feb 23rd 2010 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/its-february-23rd-do-you-know-where-your-spring-design-alex-is/Feb 23rd 2010 5:43PM
