BeBook Neo vs Samsung E60
I don't own an ereader. I'm looking at the BeBook Neo but I'm curious about the yet-to-be-released Samsung E60, and curious if anyone here has any insight to share.
My interest in the Neo is currently mostly as a travel companion. Wifi-enabled web browsing for email is very important to me with this device, especially for international travel. I'm looking to buy before a late-May trip so my window for waiting is closing. The Samsung appears to have some nice features: Samsung Press Release YouTube video Its unclear to me what the web browsing capabilities of the Samsung will be. I am intrigued, however, by features such as external speakers, bluetooth capability, and built-in text to speech. I wonder if at some point you would be able to use this device for language tapes or foreign-language dictionaries in a speaker mode. This device will also have a journal function, allow audio recording, sync with outlook, and supposedly read word and excel files as pdfs. Book reading functionality appears very similar to the Neo. One shortcoming appears to be only 3,000 page turns. Any input appreciated. |

I've been asking myself the same question: which device is (or will) be better? I've been trying to unearth the technical specs for the Samsung E60, but haven't been entirely succesfull. Here's a quick list of items though:
Pros of the Samsung E60
Cons of the Samsung E60, compared to the BeBook Neo/Onyx Boox

What kind of touch screen does E60 have? Because the one in Boox (Wacom) is under the screen - so there is no contrast loss and no bad reflections like in Sony PRS600 for example. It requires dedicated stylus though. Last edited by Magnesus; 04-02-2010 at 06:14 AM. |
