    Ironically enough, I covered Asus' Eee keyboard a bit back (http://www.techspot.com/news/35336-asus-eee-keyboard-delayed-until-august.html). Honestly, just a thoughtless oversight/poor choice of words on my part. Corrected. Thanks!

    As long as it doesn't cost as much as a netbook. I don't see who's getting an e-reader when netbooks that do far more hit the same price tag. Especially since netbooks fit into cargo pockets... I love that.
