nReader from BenQ for Asia Markets
filed in Mobile Productivity on Nov.19, 2009

I like the formats this wannabe ebook reader from BenQ comes in. Txt,HTML and PDF!!!!
I can’t figure out why all ebook readers would not want to offer these 3 formats. So finally BenQ does what Asia consumers are looking for.
- 6″ touchscreen e-paper display which relies on SiPix Microcup technology
- 800 x 600 resolution alongside the capability to display 16 grey scales. Pretty much similar to the Amazon Kindle in terms of technical specifications, although it misses out on the Kindle’s keyboard while being a wee bit smaller and lighter.
- 2GB internal memory
- a microSD memory card slot
- a microUSB port, an USB 2.0 port
- a 3.5mm audio jack.
- handle all relevant file formats, including ePub, PDF, TXT and HTML alongside audio and image file formats as well.
- Wi-Fi connectivity
- a USB port on top of the device could prove to be its trump card, allowing USB 3G dongles to be connected for portable Internet access. BenQ touts a 7,500 page turning experience per full charge, but this rules out Wi-Fi and 3G access.
This one is expected to come at USD280 but i won’t pay a high price like this for it. Its like paying the price for a netbook and doing less. i would rather go USD 180 for one. What are your thoughts
