the daylight computer will be great when the screen resolution is improved. the current screen is very poor resolution for the size. it will be a wonderful device if they can just fix that one problem. i'll def buy a dc2 if screen resolution can get to the 300dpi level i really hope they succeed as a company since reflective lcds could be amazing @daylightco
