Like others here, I am delighted that it now looks like, after ALL this time, we might finally be able to take our 'work' outside
. As somebody who does a lot of typewriting, refresh rates are really not that big of an issue to me (I think). I like typing notes on my Kindle Paperwhite just fine, for instance. If only Amazon weren't so anal about keeping the Kindles fully 'closed', I'd even be perfectly happy connecting a keyboard to it and using that for doing some writing outside in the sun. But so I LOVE the apparently more 'open' idea behind this new product. As well as the specs of course
.
But so I'm still puzzling over the plan here. The name of this product and the WACOM pen suggests that it really is intended for notetaking with a pen. But so IS making sure that buyers can also hook up a bluetooth keyboard to this device part of the plan here? Or will we have to wait for a different device - a (mostly) keyboard-centric E-ink Pinebook? And is that in the plans at all? Its seems to be that that user group would be SOOO much bigger - think people who just have to write code, text, etc.
