While not the iTablet, this may be just as game changing: http://dvice.com/archives/2009/09/asus-cheap-full…It's a two screen color, touchscreen ereader/tablet/laptopish kind of thing. That could be the ebook reader to really change things.
Honestly? I hate reading from screens. I seriously doubt this will be that "changing," simply because most people who are avid readers (of comics, books, whatever) are the least likely to want this technology.Just two cents.
Hey guys, Max here. From the Future. It’s 2011 up in here!!! That image up there is totally off the mark. iPad is kind of like…well, just imagine an iPhone the size of a modest cutting board. Yeah, it’s called iPad. Turns out, iTablet was a dumb name, so they went with iPad instead. Still kinda dumb, I know. And, Anonymous – you were totally wrong duuude!! Tablets are all the craze, and it looks like they’re here to stay. Alright, gotta get back to the future now – peace bros!
