My my, we'll soon have e-book readers busting out all over the place. Engadget is reporting that Panasonic are just about to launch a new device in Japan, dubbed the Word Gear. Specs:
- 1024x600 resolution
- SD Card Slot
- 105 × 18.5~28.4 × 152-mm / 325-gram
- 6 Hour battery life
- ¥40,000 or about $340
Alas, looks like a Japan-only launch.
