Orizon Do we have any specifics on how multitouch will work?

Mathlete · 03-14-2010, 05:19 AM

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.
