In fact there were two devices: the e-reader DR-900 (or DR-950 as it was designated early on) featuring touch-screen, SiPix screen; and the Eee tablet an LCD screen that was basically an electronic note-pad device doubling also as a e-reader.
The device now announced is the second (the note-pad / e-reader) the Eee tablet, not the dedicated e-reader (SiPix e-ink screen) DR-900.
Videos of both these different devices can be seen at the internet (and they clearly show there differences).
I hope the dedicated DR-900 is still somewhat alive, but I begin to question that, sadly

.
If the dedicated e-reader (DR-900) is still in Asus plans, i hope it is available soon (it would be my first choice for a e-reader).
