Delta Electronics have been showing a color e-reader at Computex this week, and the big news is that it’s expected to reach the market in December 2010. The Delta e-Magazine weighs just half of Apple’s iPad, but has a 13-inch display capable of showing colors, albeit relatively muted. The device is based on Bridgestone’s e-paper technology, with Delta apparently working with the company to commercialise the technology.
Obviously the primary function of the ereader is for consuming large-scale digital magazines, but according to DigiTimes the e-Magazine also supports pen-input. That would allow documentation to be annotated. Meanwhile battery life is tipped at around 6,000 page turns, which Delta say are completed faster than the displays of rival E Ink.
