I've read so many books on my PC (finishing up rich dad poor dad right now actually), it's really not that difficult. Just make the text bigger. My eyes don't hurt, and I prefer it to reading real physical books now mostly.
Except, that I can't read a book on a laptop (or any laptop besides a tablet) and shit at the same time. Or jackoff, while shitting. Or watch movies, while shitting. Or read nickycakes.com, while shitting (and jacking off).
This is a very niche device, and exactly what I wanted. An iPod touch is too small to watch videos on, and a lugging a laptop around is too much (especially if it's over 17).
Because it doesn't have a physical keyboard, you can put it in more interesting positions. It may just be an oversized iPhone, but that's just what I needed.
Disclaimer: I don't have an iPod/iTouch/iPhone/iMac, but I will be picking this up, or waiting till the Chinese dupe it and sell it on the cheap.
Also, the you can make iPad specific apps, which will be nice. If this isn't good enough, then just wait another year when they released the updated version with the new iPhone os etc.
Part of the reason why they didn't make a new OS for this was because nearly everyone has an iPod or iPhone. Even if they don't have one, they've at least used one once or twice. Since this is so similar, people are already comfortable with the device.
It's like carrying an actual notebook (more like legal pad) around that does shit. This actually reminds me of a Bud Light commercial. Sometimes an iPod/Phone is too light, a lot of times a laptop (even a tablet or netbook) is too heavy. For those things that are just a tad too awkward for both of those things, that's where this fits in.
Like, browsing Facebook on your phone just fucking sucks. But say you're at a friends house, coffee shop, or just lounging around the house (there's also a reason they were doing demos on couches at the event), you don't really want to bring a laptop with you, cause it's just too much. I think this will be a good fit for quite a few people, especially the later versions.
