New E-Reader in Shades: Pandigital Announces Chromatic Launch
Ready to dive into the world of color e-readers? The Pandigital e-reader is the latest addition to the market, set to shake things up! This budget-friendly device, with a $199 price tag and a June release date, boasts a 7-inch TFT LCD color multi-touchscreen display. It's compact, measuring 7.5 x 5.5 x 0.5 inches and weighing only 454g.
Running on Google Android and sporting an ARM 11 Mobile Processor, this e-reader gives you the freedom to browse the web, check email, and enjoy music, all while having access to a variety of downloadable apps. The resolution of 800 x 600 offers great visuals of your colorful digital book collection.
But what sets this e-reader apart? Well, it connects to the Barnes and Noble E-Book store, providing access to over a million e-books. Plus, it supports Barnes and Noble's Lendme technology, enabling you to share e-books with others for 14 days. The user interface is intuitive and customizable, with a responsive touch screen.
Although some may question if this e-reader poses serious competition for the Barnes and Noble Nook, its cheaper price tag and content distribution system could make it an attractive option for many. However, limited distribution could impact its market success, much like other new tablets and slates without substantial advertising and production.
Remember, we'll need more information about the device, such as its specific Android version and compatibility with third-party e-book services, to make a more informed decision. So, stay tuned for updates!
