Innoversal Papyrus coming in September - Page 5

If they want to make September now they're in a hurry...

Mastiff · 11-01-2010, 05:14 PM

And that was October. I guess we'll have to say that the pessimist ends up being right, but the optimist has had a lot more fun in the meantime!

I e-mailed the company on June 6th and asked a lot of questions about both the Papyrus and the Lattice. I heard back from them two days later with answers for all my questions and promising mid-September launch for both products.

I e-mailed the company on Oct 16th and asked about the availability of either product. I haven't received an answer yet.

I am reluctantly calling both products vaporware. And they looked so promising, too.

But did they say which September?

As usual : drop a month but not a year

Mastiff · 11-02-2010, 07:20 PM

Exactly the same experience I had with them. Very nice and quick to answer earlier (I think it was in August). Then suddenly no answer at all.

Looks like another one bites the dust. Despite my earlier optimistic conversations with Mr. Chen, president of Innoversal, there has been no news now for nearly two months. In addition, emails that I've submitted to him have gone unanswered. Their website was last updated in March 2010, and Mr. Chen's blog (http://cooperchen.blogspot.com/2010/...ming-soon.html) hasn't been updated since July. I suppose I should have expected this, but to say I'm disappointed would be an understatement. The Papyrus and the Lattice were exactly what I was interested in for an ereader and for a tablet PC. There is still hope for a large format ereader, ASUS has released their DR-900 in Asia, hopefully it will migrate to N. America soon. Pocketbook is taking pre-orders for the Pocketbook 902, but despite more than a year of promises, we still don't have a physical piece of hardware to demonstrate that these machines were anything more than empty promises.

I am not the slightest bit interested in the iPad, Commodore ended my support for proprietary hardware, so I guess I just have to "make-do" with my Kobo and pray that one of the ereader makers out there actually follows through on their promises.

Mastiff · 11-04-2010, 01:42 PM

Yeah, with you, me and Gastan they would at least have sold three units! Talk about dropping the ball...

Dulin's Books · 11-04-2010, 02:18 PM

i would have bought one of each too. i even had the order form in to him. i havent talked to them since july or august

Mastiff · 11-04-2010, 02:20 PM

I saw that you had a sample coming in some time this summer. Tried to mail you about it from this forum, but maybe you didn't get that one?

Dulin's Books · 11-04-2010, 08:14 PM

sorry I dont remember seeing it. They never got the samples ready and I certainly wasnt going to pay for one/them by wire without proof the were real.
