Come on, this is from a manufacturer of digital photo frames. It's target market has some overlap with that of the iPad, so it's definitely a competitor, but the headline makes it sounds like it's gonna be a major alternative. Having said that, this looks like a pretty cool device. I've been thinking about rooting my nook, but this would be an even better target. If it's fast enough for PDF display, it would a nice reference tool, and in my opinion the only way to get a decent book reader is for some third party to make one. I haven't seen a single one that has a decent text layout algorithm. The "problem" with the iPad is that at this size and resolution, the web pages themselves look pretty astonishing, so there's less need to get a reformatted version as an app. And the iPhone 4 and its technological advances almost make me want to wait for a 2G device. So a gadget like this would be the perfect stop-gap solution for me. No iPad killer, but an iPad postponer…
