Patience young Jedi, patience. I don't think we'll see Robert for a couple of days, but the time CES finishes and he packs up and gets home.
I'm looking forward to any announcements. I'm eager for a 9.7" (suitable size for Uni) ereader but from what I am reading the plastic substrate screens wont be available for some time on all manufacturers' readers |

I want to know when Astak will bring the A9 to US and start selling it (and at what price too )

I sure Robert is working from dawn to dusk (and perhaps longer) at the Astak booth.
However, it is interesting there have been no official press releases even. BOb |

Well, I guess Astak had nothing to announce at CES, after all. The only news clip I've been able to google about them at CES only mentions the EZ Reader and the PocketPro.
This was disappointing to say the least. |

You also can't underestimate that value of networking, seeing what the competition is up to, talking with the Jinke reps, and getting your company's name more recognized by the attendees. At least a couple of them had never heard of Astak before and wrote favorable reviews of the PEZ. It would be nice if there was a detailed press release with pictures though. |

polly,
I agree with all that... but the way to get noticed at CES is to make some noise. Perhaps Astak was there and showing something new off... but as far as I know there weren't. Engadget and Gizmodo have both reported on Astak stuff before... so they are known to these types of places. BOb |

Well here are a couple of pictures of the Astak booth. Astak did not show any 9" devices but is working on some. They did show a new web site for selling books. They had lots of interest in devices and showed a 6" prototype with touch screen, Wifi, and notes. More on that one later. I don't really want to take away for Bob's information when he returns.
