@sentry_co This is what I thought. I have been waiting for a new version of reMarkable for so long and it has still not arrived. But in this case it looks like checkmate :-)

@sgroiga reMarkable 3 is coming. They just moved into new fancy offices, and biz is booming. So it's on its way for sure. Im hoping for backlight and some chill AI copilot. 😸 I love tech like Daylight and Remarkable. Purposeful and minimal bloat.

@sentry_co reMarkable did not include backlighting because the goal was to have "the world's thinnest tablet", but I absolutely agree, backlighting is definitely a game changer! I love the idea of AI for example to improving a sketch

@sgroiga Yeh. Sketching and writing. And reading out loud, like audio books. When your eyes needs a rest 😏... remarkable is 0.47cm and amazon scribe is 0.58cm. I think I would be fine adding 1.1 millimetre to get backlight.

@jaroslaw_ceborski I do not think so. I mean for most user cases you read something or write something, I do not think to get big trouble with the UX - I like a lot of the reMarkable. But of course this is a completely new UX.

@p_val This is the big advantage of Eink compared to tablets. If you use your tablet all day, you are forced to charge it at the end of the day. With Daylight this is not the case, you can use it for several days without worrying about recharging.

@denisyuce E-book readers are another category of products that the DC1 is not :-) Devices like reMarkable or Supernote are more focused on writing notes. And to read/edit PDF documents, it works perfectly in a larger size. If you compare the selling price of alternative eink tablets, there is no significant difference.

@sgroiga With all due respect: I found all the products mentioned above as different segments, based on the price, features, technologies, and people's needs. As a simple example: 1. PadMu – for musicians 2. Boox Ultra – For people who want to keep e-ink screen and also have large functionality. 3. ReMarkable – For people who do notes, writing, and having the tablet as a part of their job 4. PocketBook – for me, it's a competitor for Kindle. 5. Huawei MatePad – this product has OLED, so it's more for the general tablet audience. My point is that it's better to create a strong balance between market needs and price. The idea of making e-ink screen with 60hz refresh rate is wonderful! I would like to see more innovations in the stagnation segment of ink tablets. But at the same time, it's important to consider what other criteria are important in specific use cases of your device. PPI, Backlight, weight, screen and glass distance, response rate, refresh rate, product dimensions etc DC1 from my personal perspective is trying to cover multiple customer segments, not paying enough attention to the current customer's needs. It reminds me of the first touch screen mobile products (before Iphone). At the same time, DC1 is trying to support the position that e-ink tablets are more “healthier” for your eyes. Maybe, I hope that this combination of healthier screen and finally NOT disappointing E-INK refresh rate will find a match with the current market. Thank you!

@sgroiga I found all of my previous comments useless, after I finally found out that DC1 is not E-ink screen. It means It has a backlight, and it means all the e-ink benefits are gone. It's much more useful to but an Ipad, turn the display to mono, and disable all notifications you might have. I'm more confused right now than before

@tom_bruining It is not just the physical product, you also have to develop the software to manage/edit your notes or documents. As you can see, there is a lot more work behind 😏

@supriyati "Usable app" ??? 😅

@chrismessina Yes, I absolutely agree, it's not cheap. It is a niche product, not a mass product like iPads that are produced in very large quantities, so it gets much more expensive.
