The Glade 4.0

I'm now having serious tech lust for this thing.

Be sure and watch the UI videos. I will have to be more creative just to justify using the damn thing!

"Journal entry number 34. Ate cheeseburger for dinner. Attached is picture of cheeseburger."

I've been looking forward to this for a while. I'm trying to hold off on a nook purchase to see how this pans out. Nook might sway me by getting rid of the stupid "only lend once" policy on their lending.

I really like this one because it looks like it's a lot more than just an e-reader, but will also be a badass e-reader.

I think I started a thread on this a long time ago that eventually got lost.

This is basically what I wanted the iPad to be - a conduit of creativity, and not a vessel for consumption.

Oh, it definitely looks to be an excellent, well, thing for its "more than an e-reader" role, but I don't know if it will be a good e-reader until I see it in person. Hence why I may still end up purchasing a nook later this year.

This was killed...
