Idea #5 - I want a cheap document reader (Kindlesque) that wirelessly syncs my email, pdfs, docs and feeds to read on the go. I don't need/want any fancy bells and whistles -- it just needs to be fast, cheap and sturdy enough to take a few knocks and bumps.

Nice idea.

a bit, still too "heavy" I am looking for a single purpose doc reader. No touchscreen or web surfing necessarily. Closer to the Kindle.

Sounds like a Peek with eReader functionality http://www.getpeek.com/

Wow, 19.99 month for email? I'd say the form-factor is the right idea but I'm thinking a lot more formats and wireless instead of whatever network the Peek uses.

I don't know about cheap, but the Readius looks interesting. Tiny. Rollable e-ink screen. 3.5G. http://www.readius.com/pocket-...

@Rod that's exactly (well close enough) what I am looking for. Weird I haven't seen anything about this yet.
- Steve Spalding
Kindle should have a new version coming out soonish (few months?) from what the buzz is. I would wait for it. The price should drop too
- Bartek Ciszkowski
@Rod the only problem is the form-factor, while cool, will probably make it prohibitively expensive.
- Steve Spalding
Yes it will probably be expensive. Hopefully rollable e-ink displays catch on and become cheaper.

you want a windows mobile phone. i had all that with my ppc.
- Anika
Hm, I'll have to take a look.
