I just received email this too. It sounds very interesting! Are there any demonstration videos that show this in action?

Just be careful. Its "holiday" price is $499.
I don't want to see how much it's going to cost after Holidays. |

I heard for resolution, its 1600x1200 resolution, but with 4 "bits" for each color, effectviley tis only 800x600? videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4pgDoGLiIg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViZnxN0lidc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtTxiQdPEiI essentially its a re-release of "Hanvon WISEreader C920" color eInk Last edited by paperwastage; 12-07-2011 at 11:06 PM. |

Its 4096 colors.
Here are the detailed specs: http://www.hanvon.com/en/products/eb...ucts-C920.html Engadget article: http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/07/e...-500-ships-in/ According to the article, this device is already on the market in eastern Europe. But where? Which countries? Do they ship internationally? I think for an e-ink tablet the price is OK. Web-browsing without eye-strain. |

On the whole, all this secrecy and lack of any constructive information about JBC makes me more inclined towards buying a Boox M92 or Hanvon E920 (if it's possible to get it)... |
