As I read lying down most often I would welcome a page turn function appreciably above the half way mark of the device. A touch screen that allows page turning would fit the bill nicely, so long as I wouldn't be trading readability (contrast etc.) for the privelege. |

Does anybody know who will be selling these in the US?
I was assuming Astak would rebrand them but, since there hasn't been any news from CES, I'm assuming they won't sell them. |

Most of the Astak staff is at CES right now, so I wouldn't expect to hear from them before next week. |

I was not impressed with the Sipix screens that i saw. Jinke had them of course and I also saw a reference model at the Marvell booth. The contrast was not as good as the e-ink displays.
I did find at CES that 2 companies- HTC and HP have stylus that work with their Capacitive touch devices. That is definitively a plus for this epd's going forward. If you can do touch with astylus cheaper than Wacom but without the layer over top of the display - its pretty much a win |

Before he left to prepare the Astak booth for the show, I read a post by Robert (Astak's rep) that he would post all the announcements when he returned to his office. I don't expect anything from him and therefore fairly official until probably Tuesday at the earliest. Robert did mention in his blog that several new models and lots of news would be announced at CES so I am hopeful. Though I had hoped to see something from Nate or Charbax or Dulin's Books during the show. Perhaps they haven't made it there yet with everything there is to see and play with?

Actually, the info comes from Lbook catering for the Russian and Ukrainian markets. But I guess it could be used as a ballpark date for availability in other countries. Last edited by eLiNK; 02-08-2010 at 03:46 AM. |
