Yes, I think this is correct. I found two more images via
TechOn, who also said that the per minute spec refers to the battery life time. Screen redrawing takes in fact 2.3s for eight colors and 10s for 4096 colors, and they are working on improving it (commercial goal is 1s for eight colors). (Oops, I saw Alex had the information already in his first post).
Some more details:
- Battery size: 1,600 mAh
- Contrast ratio: 4:1 with a reflectivity of 30%.
- Formats: JPG, PDF, Word, Excel, HTML (Webbrowser)
- A dedicated website will be launched for the FLEPia to allow for content distribution of newspapers, magazines, books, etc.
- Target price for the consumer (!) editions: A5: ¥39,800 ($335), A4: ¥60,000 ($505).
- Planned sales: 1000 sample units in 2007 (launch in October 2007), 10000-20000 (including commercial models) in 2008
