As I said previously in a post, surely Astak would beat Jinke if they could build a 9"-9.7" product with Pearl screen and latest Epson controller plus with a microSD slot and microUSB port for recharging (maybe also two separate models one with WiFi + 3G/4G and one with NO WiFi neither 3G/4G and I'd look surely for the first one) and good PDF support.
I am still asking myself: it is so difficult to make one?... Kindle's DXG already out with that Pearl screen...
if Astak's team would make one as I said I'd put my money on it instead of Jinke, because eInk surely is more collaudated than SiPix about contrast and stuffs...
Plus, if it's also a commercial issue like being a direct competitor against Kindle...I would say only this: it is always worth of it also because Amazon is a too way BIG name to see decreasing significantly his own market...but at least Astak SURELY would get something a little more eyes on them while serving different models from 5" to 9"-9.7" screens...
To say my position about Astak's philosophy and all this story about RobertB, I would say only this: talking about if RobertB was fired or if he just resigned it's: 1) useless 2) a total waste of time because it's THEIR OWN business (an italian popular proverb says: my grandfather lived 100years because he made his own businesses) 3) we all already know it's happening to ALL the whole industry, so what? 4) we can ONLY thank RobertB to have put Astak in our knowledge and we can only hope Astak will follow still his good business, yes for its own profit, but also looking at consumers demands.
Still waiting for an announcement from Astak about that 9"-9.7" device (already being since almost 2 years).
Ciao,
Luigi
