Since many Sipix devices are actually shipping or are shortly before shipping it seems really possible that the DR-900 will be announced this month and will be released the next month. Right now the Sipix devices seem to cost less (I'm referring to the Thalia Oyo with 139 Euro for 6") than the E-Ink devices. So maybe we really will see a price point around 300 Euro for the 9" Asus?

What interests me now more than ever, are the Sipix screens based on glas or plastic substrate? Plastic would be a major advantage to the E-Ink screens, since E-Ink plastic screens will not be released until next summer.
