"Astek Mentor" at CES
Apart from misspelling the name, and touting that the Mentor has been out for half a year already, what else are they fouling up?

Here is the complete quote from http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives...ok_reader.html

Quote:
[CES 2009] The Mentor E-Book Reader from Astek might be out for over half a year already, and it has yet to challenge the Kindle's position in the e-book reader market despite posting some pretty decent specifications. Here's a rehash of the specifications for your perusal :-
  • Samsung S3C2443 400MHz processor
  • 64MB RAM
  • 1GB flash memory
  • 6" e-Ink screen with 170dpi, 4 grayscales, and 800 x 600 pixel resolution
  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity
  • USB 2.0 connectivity
  • 3.5mm headphone jack
  • SD card memory card slot

This Windows CE5.0-based device doesn't do color unfortunately, but that's all in the name of battery conservation across the long run.
