Plastic Logic - Reader: Not until CES 2010

beachwanderer · 03-24-2009, 06:14 AM

An article in the german Newspaper Desdner Neueste Nachrichten today states that Plastic Logic will delay the market appearance of its long awaited product until CES 2010.

As Dresden based PL-manager Rachel Lichten apparently told the paper, the new date was due to the current global economic situation, the technical startup delays in production at the companies new plant in Dresden-Rähnitz (which only started operations this year) and the wish to keep up with competitors as far as possible additional functions of the device where concerned.

Heise has the story, too.

I seem to remember that they just wanted to have a pre-production run and tests with content-partners and chosen testers in the 2nd half of 09 anyway?

But well, well, if they are still fiddling with the design and the functionality that's surely not a good sign. And it will push up the price further and make market-entry even more difficult.

But if they come up with something worthwhile in the end - so be it. I can wait.

Update:

Yes, of course: Had that in January. As I stated above.

So its just the bit about the ongoing design issue and the fact they spoke to the lokal newspaper then.

And i am very interested to hear what the price for this device will be. I assume it will not be cheap

Longer time they will need for development, more money they will ask for it.
