This is an iPad and a Kindle for less than the price of an iPad. I am astounded but Notion Ink seem to have delivered a very compelling product. I hope they sell truck loads of the stuff. One wonders whether the magnetic center for innovation is finally swinging east!
The big question is will they be able to ship in any numbers. The pixelQi version (aka the version you want) sold out within hours of being made available for pre-order, and there is no hints on when it will be available for order again.
I just hope they'll be able to get enough hardware out of the factories to cover their costs long enough to successfully ramp up production.
This. I'm very sad to hear about shortages. If there is a God of Tech, do not fail us at our hour of need. Do you have a link to this version being sold out? We coud post a comment on their blog, maybe they'd fill us in on the deets.
Their pre-order page stopped taking orders for pixelQi tablets within hours of going on line and the whole pre-order page was taken offline within a few days of launching. Their blog is filled with several hundreds of people asking when they'll start taking orders again, but so far they're simple saying that they're waiting for pixelQi to ship them more screens and have no idea when that will happen.
