Engadget: iRiver Story HD preview
From Hands On:
Quote:
Our trailer was just visited by an iriver rep bearing his company's Kindle killer in waiting, the Story HD. This 6-inch e-reader touts a bodacious 1024 x 768 resolution, which contributes to an even better contrast ratio than on Amazon's E Ink slate, while software optimizations between now and release are expected to make the Story HD the fastest-refreshing device of its kind. The display itself is built by LG Display and is accompanied by a Freescale Cortex A8 CPU, 2GB of onboard storage, and an SDHC card-reading slot.
There are lots of pictures and a video, and it all looks good except that there does not seem to be any page forward keys on the sides. The E Ink background looks a little grey, but that might vary from screen to screen. All other 6" E Ink screens are 800 x 600 pixels.

Coming to the US at a competitive price and with ebook partners in May.
