ASUS e-readers coming to US, Europe in spring
ASUS may launch its 6-inch DR-570 OLED e-book reader and the 9-inch model DR-950 in the US and Europe markets as soon as this spring to gauge the market acceptance, unnamed sources said today. By next winter, the PC maker will release readers with color screens. Both of the already previewed readers use SiPix e-paper screens and Samsung CPUs.
Despite the planned and rumored releases, DigiTimes hears that ASUS has not yet begun mass production of the readers. Neither has it released final specs, prices or marketing schedules. It was reported earlier that ASUS won't launch the readers until the second half of the year, but the company has reportedly revised this because of the popularity of e-book readers.
