I'm ahead of you there boys. Downloaded an e-reader widget for the machine to see what all the fuss was about and I'm reallY, truly not just saying this but IT'S RUBBISH! I've got access to 26,000 titles but you really don't want to be reading text on that tiny screen. It's like your mummy cutting up your food for you into bite-size chunks - alright if you're 3 but we're grown ups, I want my text full-page please!
Well, the 3G coverage is a bit temperamental so the GPS and internet can take some time but apart from that, yes it does live up to to the hype. A totally extraordinary bit of kit actually. Sounds corny, but it literally is the world's knowledge in your hand! The brilliant thing though are the applications you can download onto it. So far I've got BBC podcasts, Last.FM and the TV listings as little icons on the screen. More to follow...
Just make sure you download some of the e-books to it!!!!! :)

ReplyDeleteTo be fair - you're not wrong... they are rubbish... but that's not the point! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's all about the future...
So...does the hype stand up? Have you suffered any glitches yet?
