There's a picture of only a left hand holding the device.
It has a 5" e-ink display, and runs for 30 hours on 1 battery charge.


Thanks Jeroen!

This confirms what I have been saying.

First, the device fits into a pocket. The display size is only slightly larger than that on my iPhone - too bad it is only 16 shades of grey, but that will improve with time.

More important, the device provides a physical structure that deals with two issues:

1. Protection of the display
2. Support for the display so that it can be used with a single hand.

The description says that there are just "8 simple touch buttons." Do you know if these buttons are part of the display, or part of the physical support package?

Craig
