It looks like that Asus e-reader with two tasty folding panels could materialise as promised and soon – now we know just some of the technology it’ll have baked in, and when it’ll debut. Read on for what it’ll offer.
The Asus e-reader is still under lock and key at Asus’s Taipei HQ, and while we’ve heard promises of it launching before year out, the Taiwanese company has yet to deliver on them. The latest report though from Taiwan Economic News pegs the Asus e-reader with twin nine-inch screens for unveiling before year out, and launch in America and Europe by March.
The Asus e-reader will offer 3G and Wi-Fi, and even WiMAX in supported markets, so you won’t be short of ways to grab books over the air. Whether it will run Android like a spate of recent digital tomes we’ve seen remains to be seen.
Of course it’s worth pointing out that Asus has a habit of promising some amazing new technology for a set date, then letting that slip again and again and again. We’re putting our money on the Asus e-reader stepping out on to the catwalk at CES in January, but we’ll be sure to bring you any details that break before then.
