but its not any use as an ebook reader.... its just pure 100% fail!

I don't even think it glorifies e-readers. The screen tech is wrong, and the battery life is very poor in comparison. An e-reader would interest me, at the right price and with the right features, but this? Not at anything like the price it will be, by a large margin.

I dunno man, it is an expensive paperweight thats for sure...

That's not gonna happen - Apple have said that there is no flash support so all those pr0n websites are a no-go

I can see it selling as people always want the latest "apple" device, but to me this is more of a glorified e-book reader designed for surfing the web while drinking a frappachino deluxe at starbucks or another coffee house which offers free wi-fi.

I bet people will get bored pretty soon once they have these and place them for sale on the usual places shortly after.

I agree it will sell for this price but it's a gimmick. It's not really an ebook but would be more suitable as a e-magazine reader. It quite gimmicky at the moment, I mean how many things do you want to move your fingers to check photos etc and use ipod/iphone apps that were designed for a smaller screen...
