New formats, travel hub now included, 128 MB free flash memory,

Interesting...

Thats almost 100MB less than previously quoted...(Previously it said 224 diddn't it?)

Azania · 06-05-2006, 06:15 PM

And MMC rather than SD...

Riocaz · 06-05-2006, 06:39 PM

wasn't it MMC / SD ?

very crasy ..
1. (old one): The Product can work with USB stick, CF and SD memory Card
(new one) : The Product can work with USB Stick, CF and MM Card.

2. (old ) : Connection to PC/laptop via USB-cavle or integrated WIFI
(new) : Connection to PC/Laptop via USB-Cable

3. (old) : The touch Screen facility and stylus makes text input (writing comments on text and scribbling) and easy navigation possible as part of a very natural user interface
(new) : the touch screen facillity an stylus makes text input an easy navigation possivle as part of a very natural user interface.

4. (old) Content Formats : PDF / XHTML / TXT / MP3 other formats wie be supported in the near future
(new) : PDF / XHTML / TXT / APABI / OEB* / MP3* / Optional Customization to support customer specific content format

4. Interfaces

I think its the same device.

For the SD/MMC problem: I guess the manufacturer messed up and put the wrong reader in. That is a bit bad, because MMC is quite rubish these days.
WiFi: They never intended another WiFi connection than through iDS
Touchscreen: Hmm, i thought you can only use the touch screen with the stylus pen. Am i wrong?
Formats: Just updates on available readers.
Interfaces: as mentioned above
System Specs: I guess the new OS and readers take up more memory than expected. So they updated the free memory available
But its a good thing, the travel hub is included now.

1. could be licensing issues
2. could be power saving or manufacturing cost
3. sounds like unfinished software
4. updates (direct OeB sounds cool)

Jaapjan · 06-06-2006, 07:14 AM

Actually the SD foundation that controls the specifications and takes care of licensing does not provide any license to systems running on anything else but windows mobile. Or at least are very closed systems.

However, some SD cards work fine in the MMC slot. It is just that all the SDIO cards won't ever be working in it.

This has happened before!
Those are the specs of the chinese iliad.
Last time the old specs reappeared after a few days.
Im writing this with my cell so please be kind if i make many mistakes...

tribble · 06-06-2006, 08:36 AM

Could be, isnt the abapi Reader a chinese product (and only chinese)?

diabloNL · 06-06-2006, 11:46 AM

I don't know about you guys but I'm seriously considering to buy a Sony Reader.

Riocaz · 06-06-2006, 01:27 PM

Not until someone cracks it so I can use other formats properly.
