Blio Misses February Launch

Ray Kurzweil's latest venture, the Blio Reader, missed its announced February launch date without any explanation on its website. I'd signed up for Blio updates via e-mail but have yet to hear any news from them. In fact, it's been pretty quiet since the Consumer Electronics Show in January, when the February launch was repeatedly promised by Dr. Kurzweil himself. What happened between then and now? Well, there was the launch of the much anticipated Apple iPad, and since Blio was supposed to be available for the iPhone, it could be that its developers are tweaking the iPhone version to be compatible with its larger cousin. In any case, I'll keep waiting for news from Blio and keep you posted.
