Lets see, Looks Expensive, and a Battery HOG and not Easy on the eye's reading for hours. I think people are who really don't read much other then what's on their PC screen just don't get it!!!! I DON'T want all this garbage. It's NOT needed. What's needed is cheaper Ebooks. I'd like to see the $99 6" eink ebook to come out. If you want all this other garbage get a LAPTOP or Netbook, or hell even a Cell Phone. In the month I've had my Kindle reading daily, I've hooked it up to the charger 2 times and it was that much just because I didn't want the battery to die on me in the middle of a reading session and since it's new, I'm not sure how long it'll run for before dieing.
With the Kindle, You get 30 days to try it out and if you don't like it, you can send it back for a full refund!!! At first the NOOK looks cool. A color touch screen on the bottom with a EINK display.

Once you start thinking about it later on, you start to wonder, why? Who cares. Is this something that's really needed? With EINK, it looks like a Paperback book. It's nice to read, easy on the eye's, especially when reading for hours. A cheap Book light is all you need if you want to read in the Dark.

My Kindle doesn't need a recharge for a couple weeks, and I'm reading Daily!!! That nook has to power 2 screens, and that color one will use far more power then that EINK display. I'd say far less battery life. Need some real reviews on the Nook!!! I like a real button keyboard over that of touching the screen. Which is one of the things I don't like about the IPHONE. I'd want a pop out keyboard. Do I really need to see book Covers in COLOR?!?! I don't miss that at all.

Color EINK would be nice for some people. EBook readers need to get cheaper though, like $199, or even $99, and going COLOR will increase costs. Most books I read have ZERO colors, so again I'm not missing anything. I can see like a Kindle DX with Color. Seeing Color PDF screens, Color for School Text Books, that type of thing I can see COLOR being useful. Getting rid of a real heavy backpack full of school text books for a light Ereader would be a good thing.
I got my Kindle Early November, I really like it.
I'd like to have that.............
Oh, YA................

I don't have that many books on my Kindle 2i YET and I already see the huge need or organizing. Why it hasn't been done YET seems kind of odd. but I do really like it otherwise.
MS has been banning consoles since the first Xbox. This is nothing NEW other then the fact so many people got banned at once.

Considering MW2 is a huge game, and a major part of it is online gaming, it's not MS fault the game was release this time of year, or that you Modded your console to play a Pirated game. You took a Gamble and lost!!! Considering there's a reported 600,000 to a Million people banned, that's a lot of people Pirating a game and a huge loss it money for both MS and the game Developer. Your lucky your console still works and you can play your pirated game offline.

I didn't see 1 DVD I wanted to convert over to Blu-Ray. I did do the HD DVD to Blu-Ray, and traded ALL my WB movies except 2 they didn't have. 1 they do now, but it's not worth it until both are posted, so I'm waiting. I wish the others Studio's would do the same thing. I'd like to get rid of all my HD DVD's. Then I wouldn't need all my extra backup HD DVD players that I have. I do still like the HD DVD format better though. HDi was far faster then the BD-Java Blu-Ray is using.
I live in the FU*KED up state. I so much HATE S.F. and avoid it like the Plague that it is!!! The rest of the state isn't much better. I love the Climate here in the Bay Area, and Family live here. so just up and fleeing like so many others really isn't a option.

The Rich getting taxed to death, Except for the Democrat that seem to all be TAX CHEATS, are fleeing, and what we have left is a lot of low Income and None paying Tax people left. Same problem New York is having, People fleeing to Florida and you have the Poor left that pay no taxes and your loosing money. What's the Solution? Raise the taxes some more, like that will get the state any more money. HAHAHAHAHA

Governor Schwarzenegger is a Republican in name only like many others are. They GIVE IN, and the problem gets worse. Sure we all want the FREE STUFF, but someone has to pay for it. Even CHINA now is laughing at us!!! Give it a couple more years, less if this Heath Care SCAM actually goes though, and the Dollar really will be worth nothing. We'll be a Banana Republic!!! That 60" HDTV will now cost $30,000. A Gallon of Milk will be $20, same with Gas. Oh and of course there will 20%+ Interest Rates on Home and other loans. It's coming, worse then when Jimmy Carter was in office.

Barak Obama has SPENT more money then every single President COMBINED, from Washington all the way to BUSH, in under a year, and that's WITHOUT the Heath Care SCAM, and they're not done yet, and want to kill even more jobs with this B.S. Cap & Trade bill (CAP & TAX). They do want to spread the Wealth, not with just others in the U.S either, but the whole rest of the world. WE give our money to everyone else in the world to bring them UP, which really would mean, bringing everyone here DOWN. Hey want to start making $10 a day here in the U.S. Everyone will be THE SAME, that's really all that matters. People better wake up.

As for the new HDTV standards. Well like a lot of my other stuff I buy, Usually from AMAZON, pay ZERO in tax to what once was a great state. I can either buy my next HDTV Online and pay NO TAX again, or at least have a excuse to buy a 60"+ HDTV!!! Yep, more B.S that doesn't help the state. Over Tax, Kill all the Farms, and give in to Unions which are far over paid. They could take 100% of everyone's money and spend it ALL and still be billions Dept.

It's at the point where people on Welfare are driving new BMW, and Mercedes, live in a nice house, and spending Food Stamps!!! Living better then someone that Actually WORKS!!! Sorry to say it's really true!!!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am trying to configure out a really dumbed down and intuitive PC for my grandmother. She recently had a stroke and while she is under my care I would like to repurpose a laptop for her to surf and email her children. Anyone have any experience with what input devices and UI's are really understandable for the over 80 crowd?"
