Pocketbook have uploaded the first press photos for the new e-readers they will announce at IFA-Berlin and the Mirasol device isn’t there. The picture at right is the PB 903.
This is not a joke and it is not a rumor. I have confirmation from a couple different sources that Pocketbook are working with Qualcomm. I’ve actually been sitting on this for a couple days now. I was giving Qualcomm a chance to ask me to not post the story. They haven’t responded to my emails so I guess they’re okay with it.
So what proof do I have? I have a non-denying confirmation from a Pocketbook PR rep I know. He did not explicitly say yes, but it came to the same thing. I’ve also heard about the partnership from a couple different people peripherally involved with Pocketbook.
I also have this. That post is written by a Russian blogger who has always had reliable information on e-reader companies. He says that there will be 3 partners, and Pocketbook will be the European partner. I bet he’s right.
