[QUOTE="ratbat, post: 992354, member: 142549"] >It's quite hard to sit down in front of my MBP and read continuously I wonder if that is the nature of computer screens. For all its limitations I would guess a Kiddle would be easier on the eye, in the same way that plain old paper is. I read an interesting study that showed people had 30% less information retention when reading from a screen compared to paper. >It is a device I've been looking for. Are you expecting to suffer at the hands of web pages with flash? There is so much of it out there it makes me very interested to know how much a Slate will ship for. >At this stage of the game, frankly, I don't see this as the lone computing device in anyone's near future. I think that is true, but it is also a shame. I would like to see a day when grandma can call her ISP and get a machine like this and a wireless router delivered all preconfigured to just switch on and go with email and the web. As an industry we place too many barriers in the way of normal humans. >Sometimes we just buy things because they are cool, neat, cute, or just downright fun! I like your style sir and I think you might that the essence of the answer! [/QUOTE]
