Looks great - the kit for the prototype unit on the e-ink site lists for $3K!
Anyone know the contrast numbers? I'd heard that early prototypes were 1:10 to 1:50.
A couple of obvious user interface nits
- the next/prev buttons are counter intuitive. Next should be right/down
- Its a left-dominent design, but most americans are right handed. At the very least they should have reveresed the menu and large next/previous buttons to make it hand-neutral
- can we trust Sony to come out with a product that isn't over-DRM-engineered?
