I wonder if Android machines will ever catch up to the iPhone in terms of non-text media display. This seems to be a major factor in reception.
(I'm quite fond of my Kindle 1's b+w)

Second query: will the next Android OS be able to work uniformly with enough hardware functions to support ebooks? Text display is one thing, but consider voice recognition, cameras, accelerometers, etc., any of which might prove integral to ebooks.
