Plastic Logic Que Delayed Again   no comments

Posted at 11:19 am in Plastic Logic eBook Reader

Plastic Logic’s Que – probably the longest hyped ereader to never make it to market so far – has suffered another setback.  Already delayed pre-order shipments were supposed to go out this week, but instead of a shipping notice customers got an email from Plastic Logic CEO Richard Archuleta informing them that the Que has been delayed yet again and that their pre-orders have been canceled.

This is just another delay according to Plastic Logic, but I would not get my hopes up.  In an iPad world with both the Kindle and nook priced below $200 it is hard to see where the $650 Que can fit in and sell enough units to be even close to profitable. 

The Que might have been a contender if released eight months ago, but it has just taken Plastic Logic too long to get their ereader finished and into consumer’s hands and the marketplace has passed them by.
