There are only a couple of real PocketBook reps on this forum (not dealers, but people who are employed by PocketBook). But there are many folks who answer questions based on unconfirmed sources/rumors which in some cases appear to be true but in some others not.
I personally prefer to answer questions when I am 100% sure that the information is checked and not just a speculation about a subject.

I hope too

Whats the difference between the 903 and the 903 pro. Also the 902 and 902 pro. After seeing the response times for the scribbling with the touch screen in the video I think its unlikely I want to spend extra for the 903 to get touch. Is there any other difference apart from touch screen between the 902 and the 903 ?

The 903 (and 603) sport 3G modules. But it's true that they need to really improve the response speed.

there is no "non Pro". 602 and 902 have wifi and bluetooth. 603 and 903 add 3g and pen touch/input.

the speed of the digitizing for the pen in the video is a function of not optomized beta code. it will be as fast as any other wacom-type pen input eink devices (hanvon/onyx/samsung) when delivered

Thanks for pointing the facts out. I wish there was more information about the devices, their availability, launch date and price.

can anybody make a guess about the price of 903? i Hope it won't be as axpensive as iRex Dr1000. as a PDF junkie, I really need a 10" e-ink.

For prices we all must wait for the "Frankfurt Book Fair 2010" 06.10.2010-10.10.2010.

Yes, indeed! Thank you, Logseman. The scene you noted of the back coming off and seeing the replaceable battery was great. The old laptop we keep in our kitchen for basic web surfing and watching DVDs while our toddler plays failed again and was rebuilt last week. For the moment You Tube videos won't work on it so I had to sneek back to the desktop for a few minutes at a time and until today I couldn't watch the full videos.

Still it will be helpful when full official spec sheets come out. I have a Excel sheet where I'm copying information primarily from the MobileRead e-book reader matrix along with my opinions of various featrues to help weigh the pros and cons of the models I am seriously considering and for the moment there is nothing for the 602/603 models or the 902. What is there for the 903 is very early information. For a while I was trying to add information on the 6 inch Pocketbook models as I read through threads and watched video clips and I actually did get quite a bit of information filled in. I didn't mean to come accross as criticizing anything or anyone here, but not getting the last bits is a bit frustrating. The silly thing is that none of the models I'm interested in are truly available for purchase until late September at best. I need to dredge up a little more of the patience I am using up on my 13 month old little boy who is learning to walk much to my cats' dismay and they need extra patience and comfort as they deal with the change.

A spec sheet has been published in a German site. I'm attaching an abridged translation of the table here.

[Dulin's Books]

here is Charbax's new video of the writing - they chanced the firmware since his original video adn you can see this version writes much quicker.

Thanks found a new 603/903 too:

Listen to the last bit of the video: "Larger one... can be something about 350 Euro". Now where is the pre-order button?????????

I would swear that at 5:55 the interviewer asked "How much is the larger one being sold for in Euro?" and our dear Anatoli Loucher (or was it our dear Yaroslav?) mumbled something like: "In Euro, it's gonna be something like 350"
Now, the question is, what device was he talking about? 902 or 903? Never mind, the Frankfurt Book fair is in about 4 weeks (28 days, 19 hours and 25 minutes at the moment) and we will learn more then and there. Unless, that is some contracted fancy news agency makes another unintended leak before that ;-)

I am soo tempted. I wish that Pocketbook were for sale here. ( Hint: riidoo distributes e-readers)
