Not true.
E Ink Pearl is 2nd Gen... Triton which is only a few months younger is 3rd Gen. Both came out in 2010. It's time for Triton, or BEYOND.

Plus, a snappier processor would help too.

Given Kobo's historical product cycle (The Touch was announced late May of last year, so I may be a wee bit early), and the fact that they have new owners with deep pockets who probably want a flagship E-Ink device as they try to penetrate notoriously tech savvy Asia. Combined with the approach they took with the Vox (Android based, apps, Pulse) and how quiet it's gotten...I still think the Kobo gang are busy banging away at their next reader, not building any serious firmware for the Touch.

I'm just havin' fun here... I came up with some predictions.
You just poo-pooed on them...which is easy.
