The folks at DataXu last week launched a brand advertising equivalent DX Brand.

In that way, the DX is a big step forward: it achieves exactly what it claims.
Like the iPad, the DX sports a 9.7-inch screen.

Of course, before rebates it also costs about double the price of a new 2010 Honda Civic DX.
So we feel your pain, original Kindle owners, after Amazon announced a major firmware update that brings native PDF support to the 6-inch Kindle 2 and DX readers with the promise of a staggering 85% increase in battery life to all Kindle 2 devices -- if you haven't already received it OTA, the 2.3 software update is now available for download and installation via USB tethering.

While we don't have the previous generation DX, we do have the Kindle 2 to compare (in addition to the Nook and a first gen Kindle).
Kindle 3G, Kindle 3G with Special Offers and Kindle DX utilize the same 3G wireless technology as advanced cell phones, so users never need to hunt for a Wi-Fi hotspot.
The DX offers more than twice as much Vizplex as the Kindle 2 about half the area of a piece of letter-size paper enough, some assert, to reaccustom Web readers to paying for the digital version of, say, the Times, thereby rescuing daily print journalism from financial ruin.
