189 + 6 = 195 ????

I bought it because it's cheaper (with offers) and available now! Between the Kindle touch and the Nook simple touch, I think I'd go with the Nook, though.

Ah, the good old times when we could sit on books without adverse consequences!

Plus it runs android. Not sure how it would work playing angry birds on it, but you could load the kindle app, FBreader, etc.

or just plain edge?

"maybe books are not for you": lol.

I'm at a loss as to what's actually news here. That's the same limitations that were in place for the Kindle keyboard 3G. You could only use the 3G for buying books, and browsing wikipedia. Did I miss something?

My (Dell) laptop has a Hard drive password, so the user would never have gotten into windows in the first place. Any way around this?

I haven't seen an article corrected in a while...

It's Google+Amazon

Nice.

In Brazil many ATMs have touch screens. Maybe the idea will catch up in the US in the future?

OR you can just lick the keypad.

Now ye'all are gonna say man never stepped on the moon.

The BOFH would make sure the servers themselves were destroyed too, at the very least.

I'm curious, does this actually work? Can you taste the lemons in the water?

That's pretty much what I always do as well.

Vote: Nook touch

I remeber I ditched hotmail because my account kept hitting their 50Mb limit (!) and gmail was offering upwards of 1Gb (and counting). I have looked back since, but what I saw made me glad I switched.

LOL! check out the source link, I guess Gizmodo has been (unintencionally?) rickrolled. False alarm, everyone.
