I'm not sure how reliable this news is as it doesn't reference Samsung directly and the
source seems a bit questionable to me:
Quote:
Samsung's new, highly portable e-book reader, dubbed "Papyrus", will be available in Korea in June 2009 and in the UK and North America sometime later (likely within several months).
Details:Samsung Papyrus
* A5-sized
* touchscreen
* 512 MB internal memory
* Includes note-taker, world clock, calculator, and contacts functions
* Price $299 US
Unfortunately this new device lacks wireless capabilities and has no keyboard functionality, so it may have a tough time competing with Amazon's new Kindle 2, although the Papyrus is more portable.
