[LINK] ebook readers -- here they come!

[Ivan Trundle]

I read somwhere recently that many manufacturers were holding their  
breath until Apple releases their tablet/iTunes combo (or whatever it  
will be).

Related to this, I picked up the first edition of an Australian print  
magazine all about mobile phone technology etc (can't remember the  
name) that was released in 2004. Makes for very interesting reading  
(pre-iPod) given that no-one had a clue what we would be doing in 5  
years.
