Apparently, it's BOTH an LCD screen tablet on one side and an eInk reader on the other side... with RESISTIVE touchscreen (I think on both sides?) and comes with a stylus.. AND it has a front-facing camera... AND it has both a HOST mode USB port as well as device mode mini-USB port.

CRAZY! Only $149.99 today at Woot (they're a one-day sale store), so if you're interested you only have today to buy it.

The cons, as I see it... it runs Android 1.6 (DONUT!) and, although my research shows that it's pretty easy to root and that the source code for the kernel has been released, nobody seems to have done anything with it so far as far as ROMs like CyanogenMod. Shame--this looks like it would have EASILY knocked the Nook Color off as the cheapest decent Android tablet out there if it had more of a fanbase supporting it with ROMs.
Looks kind of chunky but at that price you can't go wrong.
