Just FYI this rumor is not true. Bookport II and the Icon are entirely separate devices.

The current Bookport (at least the hardware) was a joint effort between APH and Springer Design Inc. The rumor that is making the rounds is that the Bookport 2 is being designed by a joint effort between APH and a company called Levelstar, whose current product offering is a device called the Icon, which is a rather interesting Linux-based PDA.
