Kobo sets date for new reader versions

[Nate the great]

From the press release:

With applications in development for Windows 7, Android and additional operating systems, Kobo, Inc. today announced that the service will be available for various tablet and slate computers in February 2010. Kobo (www.kobobooks.com) is a global eReading service that offers mobile applications on the iPhone, Android, Blackberry and Palm Pre, as well as support for netbooks and dedicated eReaders, like the Sony eReader.

I would hope this means new versions of the Kobo Reader that are touch screen friendly. But this also strikes me as the standard non-announcement announcement which was released because they're justifiably panicked over the Apple event next week.
