Link to engadget article

from the press release

"EER-071WF: Step up model EER-071WF, features a 7" full color TFT high resolution display with enhanced contrast panel designed for ease of reading and long battery life; plus adds Windows CE OS, a full touch screen interface and integrated WIFI. It also includes the a full gamut e-book format compatibility, including: ANSI , UNICODE TXT ,DOC,PDF,HTML,FB2 ,PDB , EPUB (non DRM and OPTIONALLY, DRM encrypted). In addition the EER-07WF is a full UMPC/ Tablet PC with Windows CE OS offering software support for Word Documents, Excel Files, and PDF reader plus such features as an Mp3 and MP4 player, and a photo viewer. Additionally, there is Flash Video player for You Tube and E-Buddy for cross-platform instant messaging. It also includes 2GB internal memory, plus a T-Flash memory expansion slot. MSRP: $199.95"

these look ok and are at a decent price and run win CE so should be friendly with most formats.

could be perfect for comics which is something I have been looking for.

Odd...no battery life numbers. That's one of the two legitimate complaints I can see with devices like these...battery life is generally very limited. (the other complaint is daylight readability, which is also a possible problem).

It looks fairly good, though the bezel looks really really cheap. If the battery life is better than 12 hours, I may consider one to replace my PRS-505...if there is a better way to navigate than just the tiny buttons at the bottom, of course.

They did, I missed it in the press release.

Could be a nice little gadget.
