W1060 MID by WireLession

For those of you who have been following my reviews, I've been talking about this new MID (Mobile Internet Device) that will also be a fantastic LCD eBook reader, previously known as the A81 MID with the ARM Cortex A8 Processor and a 7" screen. Tonight I've been given permission to post a preview and make some clarifications on the device's name. It is the WireLession W1060. Here is the preview stuff!

My most important question: transflective or transparent LCD?

imaredr · 11-02-2009, 03:20 PM

This looks so nice. Do you have it yet? As mentioned earlier I have ordered one, but it hasn't shipped yet. I am hoping that the vendor gets them in early this week. The best scenario is that I will have mine by the weekend, but I know that won't happen. At least I can look at the manual. I look forward to your review and hope it's real soon.

According to the distributor, he is mailing them out Wednesday. I should have mine around November 10 or so. Not only am I reviewing it, but this one I purchased for myself to use. The longer I have this JE-100 (which I have to send back soon), the more impressed I am with it as an ebook reader. I hope this new device can match it! I have high hopes, which is why I haven't purchased the JE-100 yet.

dsingh · 11-02-2009, 09:35 PM

who did you order it from, can you say ?

A very poor quality vid of the device is here :

The review unit I'm being sent I am buying from Ben over at Electro-Divina. See the JE-100 review thread for a link to his site.

dsingh · 11-03-2009, 12:36 PM

Thanks. It's not on his site and the ebay link has a different branded (or rather brand-less) device which is why I asked.

ColdSun · 11-03-2009, 03:38 PM

My pleasure. Those old pictures on the ebay link are of the test unit before it was released. These newer pictures are the actual unit that is being sold. The units for sale on ebay will look like the unit pictures in this thread. He doesn't have it listed on his web site yet, but I'm guessing it will be sometime this week.

Have a good day!

Here is a newer video in better quality!

Thx for the link cold

.
I was 'hoping' that my Q7 could/would get lost on it's way to eletroworld but it arrived yesterday and on it's way to the manufature for repairs, now I don't think I can justify buying the W1060...hmmm....have to think of something

cbone · 11-05-2009, 05:35 PM

What's the battery life like and how much RAM does it have?

Gibbo · 11-06-2009, 10:09 AM

I got a quote from wirelession.com of $253 (£152.88) that includes shipping + Paypal chargers, now just waiting for coldsun's excellent review

Better than the price I got from Ebay. I am still waiting for it to ship and I ordered almost 2 weeks ago.

That Plastic Logic device looks good too and the Hanvon WISEreader N518 as well. And don't forget about the Txtr reader! I could also wait for the BeBook2? Or should I go for the Canon PowerShot SX20 IS?
