I’m going to be in NYC for a conference next week. I noticed while laying pout my schedule earlier that Qualcomm have a booth at the conference, and they also have a senior person as a guest speaker on Wednesday.

Following on the heels of the Fnac report on Saturday, Johannes of lesen.net reported that Pocketbook sold nearly 10, 000 e-readers in Germany during the past 2 months of 2010. Yikes. That’s not much, considering that Pocketbook have said they have a strong position in Europe.
Pocketbook & Netronix have broken up
January 9th, 2011 · 2 Comments · hardware news

Pocketbook press conference
January 7th, 2011 · 3 Comments · conferences & trade shows, press release
I was at the Pocketbook press conference a few minutes ago and they did not announce the Mirasol e-reader. (dammit) But at least now I know that when they gave me the run around before it was becuase they weren’t ready yet. They weren’t stalling for today’s event; they were stalling for some event in [...]

January 5th, 2011 · 1 Comment · pocketbook, software news
One MobileRead user got frustrated with the lack of an official SDk from Pocketbook, so he did some digging and managed to put together his own. I’m sure quite a few of you have noticed that the new models – 602, 603, 902 and 903 – do not accept programs built for earlier models. The [...]

December 15th, 2010 · 5 Comments · hardware news
So Pocketbook sent another Wifi equipped e-reader through the FCC today. Like last time, they asked the FCC to conceal all pictures and identifying data (specs, manual, diagrams, etc). But they weren’t able to hide this diagram. I think I know what device it is.

Last night Pocketbook uploaded a new firmware update for the Pocketbook IQ. I got the IQ on Tuesday, and it had been sitting on my desk. I had played with it a couple times, but I was busy with other devices and I was going to get to it eventually. I thought the firmware update [...]

Moriah Jovan took time from her busy schedule Wednesday to stop by the new Pocketbook kiosk at the Independence Center Mall outside of Kansas City, MO. She caught them as they were still setting up the kisok, so she didn’t take any pictures. That’s no important; it’s a kiosk in a mall and you’ve probably [...]
