The large bezel looks distracting to me, but I'm sure I'd get used to it if I had to. I was hoping that the new models would work in the hard plastic cover. That's one of my favourite features of the PB360.

Why should I trust them, now? |

I wonder about the weight. I really hope that they are lighter than the iTampon.

It better include something spectacular or be cheap. The market's already drowned with 7-inch tablets running Android, and if Pocketbook makes a "follower" model with no particular strengths, it will sink. That's not to say I wouldn't like it as a gift

Is the Wacom "Touchscreen" really pen+touch or just pen?

Maxy?
Anyone else notice the prominent label "Maxy" above the screen of the IQ? This takes the whole compete with the iPad thing too far (yes, at least it isn't "MAXi," or "maxiPad"). I can even see the tag line: "When you need a pad, you need Maxy!" Or, "For heavy use, a regular iPad just won't cut it - Grab a Maxy!"
Seriously, the 900s look interesting if they had pen notetaking for academics, but I'm awaiting the Pearl update to the 360, as 5" readers are my prefered casual reader size. I've heard the nest gen 360 is 2011. |

English press release. Looks like copied from PDF, the formatting is kinda messed up.

A fairly loose approximation to "English". Obviously not written by a native English speaker.

I have to strongly object on your use of "native English speaker". I, not being a native English speaker, would have done a better job. :-D
The text does read funny indeed; reminds me of Engrish funny. |

Though I'm the usual suspect for translations, I did not translate that one
