Live At the Barnes and Noble Irex DR 800SG Reader Launch
Nicholas is live at the Barnes and Noble Irex reader event and will report back what he’s seeing including, but not limited to, information on the e-reader. Watch this post for more details as they emerge. 11:42 - Ok folks, the Wi-Fi connection here at the New York Historical society is rubbish, so I’m literally “e-mailing” the guys my live reactions. Better stuff a-comin’ later in the afternoon. Today IREX, which is a Philips offshoot, is showing off its latest e-reader, the DR 800SG. It’s got an 8.1-inch screen (the Kindle 2’s is 6 inches), and is optimized to be used with a stylus. There’s a little bar on the left-hand side that you use to turn pages. Oh, and IREX partnered with Barnes and Noble, so all those e-books you buy from there work on the reader. TechCrunch50 Conference 2009 : September 14-15, 2009, San Francisco
