Gmini announced 3 new e-readers this week. One will have a Sipix screen, and the other 2 will have E-ink screens. First up [...]

January 5th, 2011 · 3 Comments · hardware news
All I have to go on is the press release, but wow. Look at the specs. These babies are v3.0 compatible (and the screen resolution, wowzers).
