Sleek Fujitsu Prototype Colour E-Book Reader

fujitsu-ebook-prototype-1

Doesn’t that think up there just look pretty sleek? The colour quality isn’t great, but what is really to be expected? Since something similar to Moore’s law operates, I’m sure, in any technology field, we’d best better wait if we’re not satisfied yet, but this Fujitsu prototype colour e-book reader simply is a cut above the rest, at the moment.

It’s only a prototype though. No word yet on release date (except that the product is expected some time before 2011) or price.

The reader uses Fujitsu’s FLEPia colour electronic paper technology in the prototype, with a screen resolution of 1024×768 at an 8-inch footprint. The device is therefore capable of displaying up to 260,000 colours which, though not desperately impressive, is still something to consider. The device also comes packed with the usuals, including WiFi, Bluetooth, support for touch screen control, etc. The one pretty great thing about it is that it is incredibly thin – the colour technology hasn’t added any extra, unwanted bulk (click read more to view the second image). Good job, Fujitsu.
