Sony Reader's new model offers interactive touch screen
Posted by Alisa Zykova on October 3, 2008 at 10:25 AM
Sony announces that its new Reader model, the PRS-700, will feature an interactive touch screen, which will let users change pages by moving their fingers across the display, and a virtual keyboard to type up notes. The device will also have an LED reading light that will permit visibility in areas of inadequate lighting.
The new Reader version is fashioned after the PRS-505 model and
will contain the same features, such as a high-resolution electronic
display screen, pre-set text sizes, multiple file format support, an
expansion tool to boost storage space as well as an internal memory
that can contain 350 digital books.
However, the Reader does not have wireless functions just yet, but Sony reports that it will be working on providing this in future models.
The PRS-700 will go on sale next month and will cost US$400.
