Marvin, I like your analysis. Though you might also want to consider that this is a new type of device too. Your analysis focuses on the fact that the device will fulfill a role that current devices already cover. If you only see it that way …

Nice job mello! Re Letterbox: While great for movies, it seems this version is a bit too small to read books/magazines comfortably. The ideal aspect ratio would probably be more like A4 paper (roughly 7:5). Otherwise 4:3 is probably better tha…

Toshiba announced 9.5mm 2.5" SSDs at 512GB, and 1.8" SSDs at 256GB, but they are currently only available with a Toshiba laptop. Proves that even if SSDs are stuck at some kind of compactness limit they can about achieve parity with current 2.5" HD…
