Wow the Digitech RP's do the same exact thing for way less (I think the cheapest one with a USB interface is like what around 70$ US?), and they have been, for about 5 years now? Lol. Engadget needs to stop writing about music gear -- they are obviously clueless.
I had an RP250 for a couple years and it was really nice...but -- it died on me one day, and I was screwed...was out of warranty unfortunately. I ended up going with an M-Audio FireWire pro and I use Amplitube (Software) for all the effects.
Amplitube actually sounds better than the RP250 did, but it takes awhile to create a good sound with it...the presets really are not that great.
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.
