Am I the only one who thinks this is an obvious fake?!!!
180 hrs battery, usb, SD, wifi, mp3 player - all for $99! Hardware guys please let us know if this is even feasible and what the BOM would be!
I'm guessing us doodlers & sketchers will have to wait a few more years.
EDIT: just saw the Boogie Board post and clearly I'm wrong about the feasibility of a basic slate. Someone please make one: just needs sketch and USB for charging and export. All day battery and raw bitmap is enough to start!
Screen size seems to be about the same as a Kindle DX. That goes for $379 and is thought to be a loss leader for Amazon. Also, I suspect that if somebody found a way to do stylus input on e-ink, AMZN would already be offering (or at least hyping) it.
First thing I looked for is a mention of the digitizing technology...and there is none. Capacitive? Ultrasonic? How do they do it with such long battery life?
