Sounds like Plastic Logic gave free eReaders to everyone at the "All Things Digital" D7 Conference.At the least, I imagine we will have a number of device reviews out soon:On Fox Business News, the CEO is saying the device will be available "the beginning of 2010." He repeated "the beginning of 2010" twice, so maybe it sticks "Amazon (AMZN) isn’t the only company that wants you to read books and newspapers on a handheld device. The Kindle has a bevy of competitors, some of which already exist-like Sony’s (SNE) Reader-and those that have yet to hit the market. Plastic Logic falls in the second category. The Silicon Valley-based company’s device, which every D7 attendee will receive, won’t be on the market until next year. But today the company will provide an update on the device’s progress and show off some interesting features, including a first look at the gadget’s touchscreen user interface. Look ma, no keyboard!"# What’s it going to cost? "No comment."# Higher or lower than $500? "The market sets pricing. We don’t set pricing." Groans from audience. Kara reminds audience they get it for free, so stop griping!http://d7.allthingsd.com/20090527/d7-video-plastic-logic-e-reader/"Plastic Logic e-book reader: now with 3G"http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/27/plastic-logic-ebook-reader-now-with-3g/"Plastic Logic’s Answer to the Kindle" Fox Business News clip:http://www.foxbusiness.com/video/index.html?playerId=videolandingpage&streamingFormat=FLASH&referralObject=5392955&referralPlaylistId=undefined
