new pocketbook products?
Apparently at the IFA in Germany there will be a new Android tablet and a new reader, which looks remarkably similar to the existing 902/3: from the Russian Pocketbook forum (sixth message from the top) it looks like the improvement is only in software, not hardware, so I am not sure why they use a different product name...

Dulin, what do you know about the updated reader? From what I read is only software doing what the current Pro models are supposed to do but do not (namely, full annotation capabilities), so I am worried that they will shift the development effort on the models being launched and forget about getting the existing one to full functionality

They're quite meh products. The tablet has no Android Market and Gingerbread is not fit for tablets (bar using CyanogenMod7 tablet tweaks).
