Samsung’s new, highly portable e-book reader, dubbed “Papyrus“, will be available in Korea in June 2009 and in the UK and North America sometime later (likely within several months).
Details:
- A5-sized
- touchscreen
- 512 MB internal memory
- Includes note-taker, world clock, calculator, and contacts functions
- Price: $299 US
Unfortunately this new device lacks wireless capabilities and has no keyboard functionality, so it may have a tough time competing with Amazon’s new Kindle 2, although the Papyrus is more portable and cheaper.
