Also the weight makes them a poor e-book reader and the battery and display does too. For an e-book you want light, long battery and high contract. What it really functions as is more of a novelty than anything else it can not really do anything very well but it does look cool. Really if it was not made by apple and I had lots of extra money lying around I would get one just to have it and use it as a glorified remote for my house so I can walk around with a cool looking screen that can control everything I own.
