Higher resolution would be nice to have. Higher resolution is one of the reasons for owning a 5" reader which has noticeable sharper text.
I wonder why the standard resolution (600px * 800px on 6") is so wide spread. Better resolution could be a big selling argument, even a technical noob knows in principle: the higher the better - which actually leads to absurd numerical values on cell phone cameras.
The
buttons on the other hand look quite ok and I agree with Isles8008 that they are probably physical buttons. Sounds promising to me.
Which sounds promising too is that page turning should be
less flickering. Maybe thay developed a better algorithm and/or the pearl screen hade suffered developing in that direction. Or both.
But who really knows what they mean when they write 'better'. 'Better' than what?
If the T2 wil not have
audio capability that would not do harm (to me). It's an ereader. For audio I (would) use an ipod shuffle or something comparable.
Facebook connection is nice to have. As long as the information of my reading behaviour is not connected to facebook, I would say, it's OK.
There are mentioned
6 dictionaries. Not 12 as in past times. That could be a back step. But
that information could be wrong because thay even do not mention german language, which will in any case be on board.
It would be a better choice to put more dics on board to make it possible to translate even the orther way round into non english languages (e.g. french --> german).
There is
no mention of
3g. No difference against the T1.
Battery life should be up to 2 month. Even if the reality brings out 1 month, thats good an a clear progress.
I admit that I do not like the T1. Meanwhile I got used to android, rooting a device and to its apps. With it's (in my opinion and estimation) better frame and maybe slightly better screen, the T2 can be a great device and worth an update.
For me that sounds like an upgrade comparable the upgrade from Windows Vista to Win7.
PS:
Harry Potter:
I have the impression, that the hype (not meant negative) around
Harry Potter is over. I think every person who wanted to read one of this books has allready done it. What is a Harry Potter ebook for?
In my opinion that's a typical behaviour of a brand with internal conflicts.
Different divisions with different wishes and a big fear to make less money.
Which leads to a behaviour which in turn leads to loosing more money they could imagine.
They should have put it into the T1 instead.
