With its 5-inch display, you can read news, blogs, audio books, view podcasts, and catch up on your e-mail. The Readius can also make phone calls and connect online with cellphone networks, has a super-battery life, and should cost about the same as a high-end cell phone. The company also has plans to add a keypad in the future.

As a nice side note, the Reader is only $279.99 with free shipping, so that makes it a savings of $100.00 over the Kindle.
