This is an interesting device in a category where I'm interested in seeing devices bloom. However, the phrase
ships with an MP3 player
worries me. The gratuitous MP3 player is the designer's badge of failure. I never, ever use it -- I have iPods and iPhones for that! -- and it just clutters up the interface and the documentation and dilutes the designers' focus on the task at hand. (Note, for example, that this thing is going to ship without Linux or Mac support for creating PDFs. What's up with that? Perhaps Foxit could have cut the MP3 feature and used its budget to hire a Unix person?)
