On e-Readers
Posted by admin | Filed under Technology
As a counter product for Amazon’s Kindle e-readers, Sony also names three of its personal e-readers that includes: the Pocket, Touch and Daily Edition. Each of which with their own unique statistics; Pocket reader is rather the smallest among them, but with the same 2 Gb memory on 5 inch display, but only gains access through PC by USB cables, no WiFi, no 3G access, no nothing, but comes in a largely debatable, $180… Touch Edition raises up to 230 dollars but provides for additional 32 GB slots aside from its onboard 2 GB memory, on 6-inch display and yes, with wireless internet access and lastly, the most elegant and expensive $300 Daily Edition model on larger 7 inch screen with both 3G and WiFi acees and offers same memory details as the Touch Edition.

The online tech site, wired.com shares the fearless statements of Sony’s president, Haber as he replied regarding the over bounded price issue with Kindles 120 dollar WiFi over their non-connective 180: “We wanted to build quality and overall experience. We want to give consumers the feel of buying an e-reader, not a toy.”. True enough, Sony’s e-readers seem to do it all to reach the boundaries of Kindle. They have more vibrant color cases; neon hot pink, red and classical black and silver, they also recently switched their screens to the “Pearl” feature upgrading contrast, text qualities and everything else behind the screen.
