Do we have any specifics on how multitouch will work?
I have been thinking about upgrading my ereader to one that has a good search featue, a larger screen, and wifi. It sounds like the Orizon will have all of these things, but there aren't very many specifics available yet.
I like my Opus well enough so I'm willing to give Bookeen another shot, especially since this multitouch feature interests me. There is a video from CES here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGImN2ggt0c But that was the only thing I could find in the way of a demo. Does anyone know anything more about how multitouch will work for this device? Is it possible to mod/hack Bookeen's software to add functionality for this feature? |

nope, but Orizon will not be a tablet like the ipad. It will have a
6" epaper display with 16 level grey scale and it will be WIFI and Bluetooth. This device will be available in June. |

It is very unlikely that Orizon will be sold in June, due to SiPix production issues.

probably correct, after all it was Bookeen who said "June" - and we know what their time-keeping is like ....

Gepetto: That is a very sad news, about Sipix… But last week, a Bookeen guy said to me that the Orizon is still awaited for june.
Wait and See. |
