Any News on PocketBook 601 Release Date Please?

I tragically broke my Pocketbook 360 and was wondering if there is any sign of the new Pocketbook 601 being released?

I was very happy with the 360 but will go for a 6" screen next time.

The touchscreen of the 302 is a negative for me - if it didn't have this I'd have ordered it already. And if I'm going to go to the expense of replacing the 360, I'd rather replace it with something slightly better, which rules the 301 out.

Ideally, I'm waiting for an even more crisp display, comfortable page turning for both landscape and portrait mode. I find landscape mode more comfortable for reading on the 5 or 6 inch devices, yet they seem to be designed more with portrait reading in mind. 5 or 6 inch devices are replacements for paperbacks in my opinion.

The touch screen is such a personal thing! Since I first bought a touch screen phone, I refuse to use anything else.

I bought a PB302, mainly BECAUSE of the touchscreen. It is really good to use - you just swipe it left or right to change pages - nothing could be more natural!

Mind you, if you don't like that - then use the buttons.

I would forget the other features of the 302 for now though. Wifi is not much use (no working browser), and bluetooth is very limited.
