Very much want one, if it materializes I will feel very jealous of today's college students. This would have been a godsend, I would take notes in class, but organizing them was always a pain. I've lost several class notes I wish I kept.

Will hold out until actual products are given to the public, I've seen several pitches for this that haven't materialized. Best of luck though, I will be waiting.

For those feeling the impulse to empty their wallets, I urge caution. I just got done being burned by the kickstarter for the goodreader equivalent. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/13-3-inch-android-e-reade... I see no evidence that the team behind this "remarkable" product has ever completed anything of this scale. Some of the claims are very suspicious. https://liliputing.com/2016/11/remarkable-10-3-inch-writing…

I'm holding out hope, but the endless cycle of delays does not look good with the goodreader project...

I was sold until this line:

"Your thoughts, whether they’re words or sketches, are instantly synced to reMarkable’s cloud service"

Imagine for a company only five years back to literally say that your thoughts are sent to their server. I welcome any product that understand we need less distractions and less help from so-called AI, but there are many reasons to be cautious about this one (preorder, latency claim and lack of technical details being some of them).

EDIT: After looking a bit more around, their technical claims does seem credible. Their CTO is/was even a developer at KDE, so let's hope they also will support open standards and personal servers. If so then it's literally the device I've always been dreaming of!

Could you clarify the source of the 60ms figure for the iPad Pro? The review you cite says:

> After a few trials I measured an approximate latency for the iPad Pro of roughly 49ms or 3 frames of delay

the latency is basically the only thing we've focused on for a while, it's a very focused device in terms of what we spend our resources on.

the high latency is one of the reasons normal tablets suck for writing and sketching.

I too struggle (and fail) to keep physical papers organised. But I'm not sure why electronic papers should be any easier? Unless there's some amazing software that can recognise content automatically...
