First look: Pocketbook 360

pilotbob · 09-07-2009, 12:00 AM

Thanks to our member Charbax for bringing us this video coverage of the PocketBook 360 at IFA 2009.

This is a 5inch eInk based eBook reader device that, according to the video was just released to the public for sale at around $300 USD. The device is ergonomically shaped and has an accelerometer that allows you to turn it 360 degrees, hence the name I assume, to view follow this link:

There is also some bonus footage of the Pocketbook 302 which the video claims will be out around October with a touch screen, WiFi, Bluetooth and 3G connectivity. Their target price for this is around $400 USD.

Finally there is also a shot of a prototype of an 8inch screen sized reader they also have in the works.

There are certainly some exciting devices coming from Pocketbook this year.
