Re: [NTLK] Courier microsoft

Meh, I strongly dislike anything that comes from Apple these days, for both
idealogical and technological reasons. This "courier" device looks much
more appealling than an over-sized iPod Touch, but still not close enough to
a Newt Replacement. As an aside, it drives me crazy about people talking
about reading books on this tablet. Do they not understand what makes the
Kinda, iREX, Sony Reader, etc. special? E-ink! Try reading books on a small
screen for a long time, not fun!
