The Digital Reader

ComputerWorld is reporting:

Taiwan’s Delta Electronics plans to start marketing a new 13.1-inch color touchscreen e-reader and an 8.1-inch monochrome touchscreen device around the end of the second quarter, which use e-paper technology from Japan’s Bridgestone.

…

Hui Lee, director of the e-Paper business program at Delta, said her company is still open to finding partners to market both the 13.1-inch and 8.1-inch devices. If a company wants to brand the e-readers and take them to market, Delta will manufacture them. The Taiwanese company is a contract manufacturer.

Delta is, however, also talking to content providers in Taiwan and plans to launch the devices on its own or through a subsidiary if a partner cannot be found. Both devices offer note-taking capability, and 3G or Wi-Fi wireless technology can be added if a partner wants such technologies aboard.

I couldn’t find the original source, but I’m currently pursuing it.
