Medionsat down yesterday with Johannes of lesen.net so they could share their newest e-reader. The P6101 is a Netronix design based on a 6″ E-ink screen (Vizplex, not Pearl) with Wifi and touchscreen. It comes with 2GB Flash and a microSD card slot. Ebook support includes ADE and the usual broad selection of formats.
Johannes reported that the firmware isn’t complete yet, but the e-reader should be available in December for 200€. A 3G equipped version is planned for 2011.
I’ve seen the hardware before (kinda). Do you recall the post about a month ago about the Pocketbook 602 clearing the FCC? This particular Medion model was named in the paperwork. Of course, Pocketbook has since changed the 602 so it’s now a different piece of hardware.
