Update on the Astri dual screen ebook reader
This is a follow up report for the hands on video posted on ARMDevices.net a few days ago.

The My Internet Device was developed by Astri, a Hong Kong based research firm funded by the HK government. The unit present at CES was not a prototype; it's a finished product and Astri is looking for retail and distribution partners.

The MyID is actually their second generation design. The previous version was deployed in Hong Kong elementary schools. Based on the news clippings sent to me I'd say it was a netbook with similar dimensions as the MyID. I don't have much more information on the hardware, but I can confirm Bluetooth, Wifi, a browser, and Flash support.

I'm attaching the product brochure I was sent. Be sure to mention my name when you contact Astri.
