The only other device we are sure about is March for EZ Reader PRO with WiFi and a touchscreen. See two of Robertb's posts from the thread Astak Mentor eBook readers with WiFi and Touchscreen options: #992 and #1024. This will be demonstrated at CES in Las Vegas on January 8 - 11, 2009. Since this is a Hanlin V3 variant (i.e. a 6" screen), there will be other resellers outside the US.
The reason than Jinkie can have a touchscreen on a Hanlin is because PVI is finally making them. So, expect other devices in the Spring/Summer next year. PVI is also expected to make 9.7" screens in this time frame. |
Thanks for your replies.
Is the DR1000WS available soon? (Although it may be a bit too big for my use).
EZ Reader Pro seems to be based on the Hanlin v3 (is this correct) in which case it will most likely be too small for what I need .
There seems to be a Hanlin v9 coming out with a 9.7inch screen and also another reader from Astak Mentor with a 9.7 inch screen. (Are these based on the same screen?). Will either of these have touch capability (full touch - "scribble" like the Irex and not like the PRS-700) and wireless?
Any word on release dates?
Thanks
