However, I bought one and absolutely Love it as an entertainment, gaming, watching movies, and freeping device. I can even access my PC’s and Servers using Log Me In Ignition.
Well it ever replace my laptops or PCs? No! But it has found a place in my home!
i jave been thinking of buying a NOOK book reader. my friend at work let me play with his IPAD yesterday. wow!
like you i am a pc person, even as a graphics artist and technical illustrator, but i can see me getting this. it uses Epubs too.
I totally agree with your review. A great entertainment device, or portable device for displaying information, but not very useful as a working tool in most environments. I have a few windows boxes, a few macs, and a plethora of linux servers that i touch on a daily basis. I have an iphone and an ipad.
I personally wouldn’t fork out $500 for one, but hey, i don’t buy brand new cars either and its not because i can’t afford them. They just aren’t worth the investment.
Most of my remote access to work is for server management, but ironically these things came along just about the time that I've started changing over from GUI to command line based management tools. Still trying to figure out how they'd work in that environment.
