e-book reader wars
23 Jun 2010 08:51 pmFirst I was waiting for the iPad. It's compelling but heavier than I want in an e-book reader. But after carrying one around for a week I now feel like I'm missing something when I don't have an e-book reader to pull out of my bag when I am waiting for something.*

piranha said it was pretty good, and it was only $150, which was cheaper than any other e-book reader I'd seen.
Now Barnes & Noble's nook is $150 and comes with Wi-Fi. On the other hand, its apps look less appealing than the i[Thing] apps.
Speaking of i[Thing]s, the iPhone 4 has a much higher resolution screen. I don't want an iPhone but maybe the higher resolution screen will come to the iPod Touch before too long.
*Come to think of it, a book might serve this purpose.
