Samsung working on e-ink product? [ 15-01-2008 16:33 ]

Author: Irina Turina Source: Engadget Translation by: Rytchkova Anja

Reportedly, Samsung Electronics has filed patent for SyncPaper trademark. It will be applied at “devices with e-ink displays”. At the same time we have a long list of would-be e-ink products – computers, displays, working stations, phones, digital multimedia receivers, MP3-plaeyrs, TV-receivers, e-calculators, notebooks, CD/DVD players, PDA and mobile phones.

Probably Samsung plans to launch its own device based on e-ink technology. It might be e-book reader (some models have already popped up). Or the company will choose less traditional application taking into account wide range of would-be devices. We can only guess and wait for the official announcement.

iRiver has introduced its Tablet PC called eBook. However this is just a concept and its specs haven’t been specified yet. The idea is that the display isn’t a LED one, but based on e-paper technology. The company notes the display is a color one. The eBook can recognize handwritten text (essential for hieroglyph input). The device involves wireless connection for data transfer. There is no info so far whether iRiver would implement the eBook idea.
