That's just realistically trying to look at who'd be interested in buying one. We're talking a lot of subsets here. I think people who view these as smash hit home runs vastly overestimate how many people are in these subsets.
And that's not to say that e-readers don't have their place or their value. I know people who LOVE their Kindles. That's not the point. They just won't be as ubiquitous as, say, an iPod - but that doesn't mean they won't be successful products in their own way.

Oct 25th 2009 5:42PM Yeah, I find the iPhone's speakerphone pretty unusable in the car, which is why I'm actually considering this thing (hate using a headset).

Oct 25th 2009 5:21PM I'm honestly curious - what other options are there out there that integrate a car mount, useable speakerphone, car charging, and line audio out? Enhanced GPS is just a bonus as far as I'm concerned.

Oct 7th 2009 7:49AM I'm probably in the minority but me buying this hinges on how well it does as a speakerphone. If it costs that much and sucks as a headset replacement, then no dice.
Poll: Would you rather see live 1080p or high quality 3D from your cable / satellite provider? {Engadget HD}
Oct 4th 2009 8:22PM 720p or 1080i, when not over-compressed, can look terrific. I would prefer that over overly-compressed 1080p. And given current delivery constraints, live 1080p would most assuredly come at the the expense of bitrate.

Oct 1st 2009 5:27PM I can understand your reluctance, but, well - I drilled holes in to my hardwood floors. Behind my TV stand, there's a 1" hole that goes right down to my basement (unfinished, so very easy to get at the speaker wires). Behind my couch, there's another 1" hole in the floor. Being behind furniture, the holes are never seen, and (for me) it was easier than fishing through walls.
