story on the Eken M003 e-reader, which has an 8" LCD color display with rather low image resolution and also smaller internal storage space than usual. As a result they'll be offering this for about $240 in the U.S. apparently. It's already been released in China. The device does have an SD slot with the capability to hold 32K of books on an SD card.
I'm not at all sure people want color without good resolution and with what looks like low contrast (similar to the older Flepias) or an e-book reader without an e-bookstore, but while it doesn't have direct cellular wireless downloads as the Kindle and new Sony do, it does offer WiFi Network access capability (home, office, hotspots).
I don't know what to think of the photo as the unit looks squat but I notice the hands look flattened as well, so that may be an error in maintaining the proper aspect ratio of the photograph when re-sizing it.
' It currently runs Google Android 1.6 and has a full color 800×480 resolution 8″ LCD display. It has a 600MHz VIA processor, 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi, 128MB RAM, and an SD card slot for up to 32 GB of extra memory.The photo shows the Chrome Lite web browser running on it.
Other features include support for MSN, Google Talk, an audio input and output, two stereo speakers, and comes pre-installed with the Google Chrome lite browser. '
I was in a search for such a gadget for a long time, finally got one. Such a nice piece. Just loved the moment I saw it. The best feature I liked is the user friendliness this gadget provides. Too easy to use.
ReplyDeleteI will surely mention this in Nook Reviews.
