An Atom-powered Android Tablet? Not much chance that would run the Pocketbook software...

They should at least start a tease campaign
Where a product outline is initially visible and more becomes known each day. Would be a great way to slow the kindle momentum. Would be great for the 901 because there is no existing 9.7 pocketbook product whose sales could get cannibalised.

It does, but also some other Android reading apps and videos, of course

Some *other* Android reading apps, huh?
And, being Pocketbook, one would assume no hacking or rooting would be needed to run those other apps, right?
Color me...interested...

(Although the Atom CPU thing still sounds odd.)

PocketBook got nothing in common with some Companys which are doing such things.

The old quote "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" should perhaps changed to "One apple in hand, let you feel you are in jail"

If anything new doesn't use the Pearl screen, I think it won't sell well.

Oooh, I dunno.
How many 10in class eink readers support ADEPT epub these days?
How many Android Tablets come with Pocketbook software and full user access to install apps without hacking?

If they really ship the 901 and an Android Webpad in September they might have something. I think those two might sell even without Pearl.

The 6inchers? I'm no big fan of 6inchers *or* touchscreens on eink devices these days so I'm not qualified to comment on whether Pearl would make a difference there.

The touchscreens will be Wacom and will need a stylus. They've learned from the 302 fiasco

Wacom decision is a great one
The wacom decision is a great one for the intended school audience. Taking notes via a stylus is much quicker and comfortable than an onscreen keyboard.

There will be a bt keyboard available, too. That's way faster than scribbling.
