That is a very opinionated writing tool. It has no arrow keys. Does it support editing, or only writing?

Would love this jailbroken, a text dedicated device would be wonderful for coding, terminal emulation, even e-mail.

While that does look nice it lacks what I consider the killer feature of the above device: e-ink display, and with it the benefits of reduced eye strain and enhanced battery life.
