Not exactly, the c920 has a capacitive touchscreen and the software, even though also based on win ce 6.0, is supposed to be better from hanvon. the jetbook color 1 has the same screen as the c920 but the jetbook color 2 has a new triton 2 display and is glare instead of matte! If you believe an ectaco store worker from germany the difference between the displays is marginal (about 20 percent better contrast but the annoying grey stays the same)
after spending time on research about the jetbook color and ectaco I can only warn everyone to not buy from that company. They have a very dubious way of making business! Here are some things I found out:
1. They refuse to accept returns even though they are bound by law too (valentinka on this forum send it back and they refused the packet, only paypal helped) Once they sold the device to you, their service is done! there is another case on german amazon where someone send the jbc back to their company hq in New York and had to pay 60 euros in total for shipping. ectaco still refused to accept the return but paypal got him the money back (without shipping costs) also in another case, a device was broken and they only offered the damaged buyer to buy a new product cheaper
2. The jetbook color 1 (or 2) software, even with current updates is lacking very basic pdf features and if they are supported then only poorly. Also many people complain about the bad usability amd ghosting
3. The colors are ok in only in good lightning but the grey makes the readibility very bad, even the first eink vizplex screens are supposed to be better
Be careful what people say on this forum, it seems one of the only happy customers here are the users Kris and Lubib.
Coincidentally, Lubib lives in New York, where the ectaco company is located, now this wouldnt be suspicious.if he wouldnt be extremely enthusiastic about the JBC and knows about updates and news regarding the jbc earlier than everyone else... And Kris seems to be only posting in the ectaco areas and is also extremely happy with every ectaco.product!
