Being from Canada I want the ereader device to automatically sink up using my home WiFi to get my daily newspaper or digital version of Engadet. Using the Cell phone back bone to internet connectivity is a great idea if you live in a country that that have high speed internet cell companies that do not want to even buy you a dinner before they rape you.

I would even be willing to sign a 3 year digital content contract with the local newspaper if they supplied a ereader for free or nearly free. IE: I pay ~30 a month now for the newspaper so I would happily pay $5-10 a month for e-edition if was delivered via my home WiFi connection every morning on the newspaper's supplied ereader.

When I bough a newer SD card I did not get the high capacity because the quick calculation in my head indicated the day long data transfer process required.

I want the 300MBytes/Second NOW!

Maybe they are not going to focus on Hardware update as much anymore and focus on User interfaces.
The GPS hardware has become 'good enough' & 'small enough' for the average consumer. And since anything can just about have a GPS chip in it now a days the real deciding factor will be the front end software. So your new iphone has a GPS chip.... now which software will you buy to effectively use it?

but can I get it to automatically sink every morning to my newspaper or Engadet for easy reading over breakfast or the morning ride to work?

Wow 128GB and fast!!!
I wonder the cost....

Nice idea... but $30 is a bit high (but expectantly in the price line from Apple). Depends on if you have access to the full library of TV shows. I could see joining for a month here and there during high re-run season to get caught up or watch from episode one on for a series I wanted to start to watch.

I could see some work places liking this... they could map individual employee movements through out a day and see how long it took you to take a piss. Or how long you spent on coffee.

They are bit light on details.... life span, efficiency and installation.
I have about 10 years left on my shingles so by then hopefully the cost will be a bit more reasonable.

With each passing year this option become more attractive as my power company indicated a 8% increase every year for at least the next 10 years. If they build a new power plant the rates will at least double instantly and they will also continue the 8% a year increase.

There is a point when consumers feel the tech is good enough. right now the economy is not so hot and the price of blue ray players is high and the movies to buy are high so DVD are good enough for most people.

DVDs, like VHS, will be around for a long time and provide stiff competition for those formats entering the market. Blue ray is slowly saturating the market.

When will software and hardware companies STOP acting like the police.
