Plastic Logic working on color e-book reader
Despite a delay of its first and only product, the QUE proReader, Plastic Logic has said it plans on beginning mass production of its successor. It would sport a color e-ink display, with manufacturing slated for late in 2011 and a commercial release sometime in 2012. The color panel will be based on Plastic Logic's own technology, developed in its Cambridge laboratory.
The news was announced at the International Electronics Forum last week in Dresden, where Plastic Logic has a factory. No pricing for the new device is yet known, though it could be costlier than the original $750 QUE, which is due in the US this summer. [via SlashGear]
