PocketBook to Introduce Five New eReaders at IFA 2010 no comments
Pocketbook has announced that it will be introducing five new ereaders at the IFA 2010, which takes place in Berlin September 3 to 8.
The PocketBook Pro 602 and Pro 902 share the same specs, with the exception of the 602 having a 6-inch screen and the 902 having a 10-inch screen. Both models have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3G; are Linux-based and have 2GB of internal memory.
The PocketBook Pro 603 and Pro 903 ereaders will add a Wacom-based touch screen. Battery life on all four of the above e-ink ereaders is said to be 7,000 page turns.
PocketBook will also release a 7-inch color LCD ereader/tablet dubbed the PocketBook IQ. This Android-based device will have a touchscreen, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and will be available in three colors.

- TTS is supported in 28 different languages. Four languages come preinstalled on the new PocketBooks.
- 16 formats are supported; DRM by Adobe.
- Integrated dictionaries in 20 languages.
- 2-year warranty.
The new models should be available in November.
Nate at The Digital Reader says that he has heard from sources that PocketBook is to be one of the initial Mirasol partners. I hope this is true and that we could actually see Mirasol displays in products on store shelves soon. I really don’t want to be a Mirasol skeptic as it is very cool technology and would be far more capable than first generation color displays from E Ink. Mirasol has been sending mixed signals lately about when its displays would actually be in production.
