The multi-touch and accelerometer look good on the A9!

I have many PDFs (d/loaded from openlibrary.org) that are un OCR'd scans. I really hope the A9 can display them in a readable size. I hope they stick to the $320-$330 USD price and then yes it will the ideal academic reader. Nice to see that Hanlin has dropped the Politburo Style too ...

Multi-touch allows the user to interact with the device by placing two or more fingers directly onto the surface of the screen. The movement of the fingers across the screen creates gestures, which send commands to the device. For example, when two fingers are placed on the screen and then spread apart = zoom in. Two fingers on screen and then brought together means zoom out. The gestures are pre-programmed, I'm not sure if there are further options to program these by users in any devices at this stage.

Jinke was talking about a March release. Hopefully it will be then or soon after.

The screen looks dark indeed... it's a shame, because otherwise I would buy it before you could say "Jinke". Now I'll have to check the effect in real life, hoping that the youtube videos make it look darker than what it really is. I don't mind if it is "a little darker" than Vizplex's e-Ink, but I would really be pissed if it were MUCH darker.
I'll have to wait until I can see one in my hands. |

Looking at the specs of the device (A9), it makes me think that is just what I need.
But the somewhat low price make me apprehensive that the quality of the components is sacrificed. Would my doubts be justified? |

Hi eLiNK...
it looks like Astak will have his relative product based on Hanlin's A9 device.. so it's just time to wait... Ciao, Luigi |
