PDAToday's Plastic Logic e-reader hands-on

Lo and behold, today our friends over at PDAToday managed to get a Plastic Logic rep to whip out his e-reader prototype for a quick look at the CES 2009.

Quote:
What an amazing product for an early prototype, it felt and operated like a product ready to ship and use. I was told early samples will trickle out in mid to late 2009 with shipping units in early 2010.
Click here for their full commentary. Some (approximate) specs:
  • Windows CE powered
  • Dimensions: 8.5 inch x 11 inch x 0.28 inch
  • Weight: < 16 oz
  • Touch screen

YouTube clips:





Thanks to Bill for the tip!

This really does look fantastic!

But can it still withstand being hit with a shoe?

I have been waiting for the plastic logic for nearly a year now. I'm glad that they finally admitted that it's not shipping until 2010, now I can buy an iRex 1000 without remorse.

I'm curious to know how the contrast of this device compares to the sony prs-700 since both have touch screens.

One of the demonstrations when it was first introduced showed the PLI unit being whacked with a shoe and still functioning. This was some time before President George Bush ducked the flying shoes.

We know it can. Plastic Logic pioneered the shoe wack test in the first place. It is a standard by which all others should be judged.

Oh... watching the video it says, PDF, ePub, MS Office docs... this is the device I want for office/work/techbook type documents. A year away, really?

Is that a button in the upper left corner? Or just a bit of design/logo thing?
