fjtorres you can buy a Jetbook light at newegg for 90$. So I don't see any reason why you wouldn't see the mini below that price at some point in the first 3 - 4 months after release.
Which is why I posted the 80$ pricepoint question. I truly think thats what they are aiming for, and possibly below 75$. |

I read a page in 20 seconds in my Pocketbook, which has a 5 inch screen. That means, I read 3 pages per minute, 180 per hour. 70 hours would equate 12,600 pages, with a fully efficient system. That being impossible, I shall take away 10% of battery life since I must operate my reader, and do other battery-consuming processes with it. If those numbers make sense, I have more than 11,000 pages for the reader, which is a high number, but around the usual estimates.

The 70 hours is more about the lithium batteries than the jetBook. I don't think everyone would be splurging for those batteries. The cost plus the fact that they are single-use would dissuade some from buying them.

I propose a wager.
Whoever guesses MSRP and release date wins madddd karma You can say what color you want to make it interesting. Keep in mind the coupon was in the store and expires in DEC 10 so it has to be out within that time. $119/Aug20/Yellow I will only count price in whole numbers. Release date will be the official day Ectaco announces anything. |
