Hmm looks interesting. I'd love to see a video of an actual prototype.

I have a boogie board sync and while I enjoy it because of the feel of writing just like on paper, the contrast keeps me from using it for everything. The boogie board sync is an awesome doodling and brain storming tool though.

I'd love it if this actually delivers on it promises - even at the full price.

The device in the videos is an actual prototype, an engineering verification sample from our ODM. And all the apps are real, functional apps.

There's no CGI in the product movie, we don't want to show anything we can't deliver.

It looks nice. Some tricky questions:

In the first video, at 1:50 someone is writing in a screen that looks like a page with rows[1]. Can I change the distance between the rows? Can I use a graph paper[1] or plotting paper[1]? Can I remove the lines after I made a draw?

It uses a special pen. Where do you store it while you are not using it?

[1] I'm from Argentina, so I speak Spanish. I'm not sure about the translation of the name of the different pattern of the lines that you can have in a paper sheet. We call them, "hoja con renglones", "hoja cuadriculada" y "hoja milimetrada". I tried with autotranslation and some other trick with Google, but I'm not sure that I got the correct translation.

To be completely honest, I'm ready to pre-order if I see a real person (not an actor) show off the device, talk us though the features (for example, compare it side-by-side a kindle and boogie board sync) and show it off in a regular natural lighting condition.

It needn't be perfect. Most potential early adopters here would understand that the software might not be ready for prime-time but with a device such as this, you'd need a more 'real' presentation than a marketing video if you expect pre-orders -- at least IMHO.

Yawn! —yet another one to file under "Product doesn't actually exist"

I'm taking pre-orders on robot unicorns which shit gold bars, if anyone's interested. I don't actually have them in stock yet, but I've designed a slick looking website.

Can one write apps for this? I see its operating system is "Codex, a custom Linux-based OS optimized for low-latency e-paper."

Edit: I see on their FAQ this question-and-answer:

DO YOU PROVIDE THE REMARKABLE WITH A SDK FOR CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT? The reMarkable will not initially ship with an officially supported SDK. We might however release an unsupported SDK for best developers.

What defines a "best developer"?
