Thank you @JoeS for "inspiring me" to give an early review.
TL&DR - It's a keeper (so long as I survive the 14 day return window).
GENERAL NOTE: This is NOT an iPhone outside and iPad Mini inside. It is another fork of iOS of something in between, and I fear we're in for a sloth-like five year progression to "near iPadOS" quality.
CONS:
No zoom lens.
Slippery without a case.
Saw the IPhone Duo. It was next to the 2 new Samsungs. I expected to immediately love the IPhone but its size left me a bit cold. I think I like the size of the Fold 8 better. Oh Samsung, if only it had a pen. My phone feels like a brick next to them.
So they finally relented and added a touchscreen to the MacBook Pro… and I no longer care. 👍
Apparently the pen needs to be charged, so I'm guessing USI or something along those lines:
Apparently annotations made in a book will show up on a Kindle Scribe.
I finally got to see one today. Pretty slick, but I didn’t love the matte coating on the inner screen. I also noticed that video wasn’t actually any bigger than on my iPhone pro max because of the screen aspect ratio. It would be great for reading and doom scrolling though. I think I’ll wait until Dale puts his up for sale. 😁
