ASUS Ebook reader -- more than that!
 
http://www.businessinsider.com/kindl...er-asus-2009-9

This really could be competition for other tablets, heading out from the ebook reader trail to the true potential of the readers.

"Asus is eyeing many more features than e-readers like Amazon's Kindle and Sony's Reader lines include, such as the ability to make Skype calls or use a built-in Webcam."

The article also said something about two color screens!

It occurred to me soon after I got my Kindle that it was REALLY a trojan horse, with future developments making it into an all-in-one tablet. Several companies seem to have realized this, and I think that the e-reader explosion is soon going beyond black and white e-readers. For starters, it would be nice to have e-ink on one screen and another color screen.

I think that non-pocketable tablets may be the next revolution beyond netbooks.
