Think about your focus population/target consumer; WMEN< MOTHERS< NON techs; NO, Gabe, not eVERY one carries a cell phone, and WHY WOULD THEY IF THIS PEEK is so great as you keep pumping on it, is. Gabe, you answer questions sort quickly, without really thinking about the orgininal focused consumer; women, with kids; Isnt that why its in Target, to start? All this 'changing pf to jif, and able to download whip-to snip, is NOT what women with kids, or non-techies, like simple elderlies, are looking for.

I guess I envisioned a world where the email was retrieved and if it was a pure text email it would be sent to the peek without any modifications. However if it was an html email it would be converted to an image displayed as an image attachment. I thought that this may be done by converting the html email to pdf and the pdf to jpg. I also thought that it would be possible to do the same with other attachments ie doc to pdf then to jpg. If the jpg was viewable I think there would be alot of potential with a lot less code. The reason I say a lot less code is because I believe the code already exists to do the conversions. It would just be a matter of fine tuning the output generated to produce a readable image. I have tested this my scanning a page from a magazine and saving it as a jpg. The issue looks to be that the image doesn't utilize the entire screen. What I would like to see is an image that would display either 1/3 or 1/2 then you can scroll down to see the rest. Not sure how possible this would be without a firmware update though.
