or it would if I lived in Japan and had $1000 to spend. Fujitsu is spot-on. The FLEPIA is the e-book lovers wet dream.
The good:
- It has a full color e-ink screen. XGA. That’s 260,000 colors people.
- Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth
- SD Card slot
- 40-hour battery life (not quite the 2-weeks you get with a Kindle), but 40 hours works for me.
The Bad:
- You have to live in or travel to Japan to get one.
- It runs windows CE 5.0….all I have to say to that is WTF?
- $1000 is a little out of my price range and probably also your average American consumer.
- 1.8 second refresh rate. Ouch. A tad on the slow side, but did I mention this is full-color?
The Ugly:
- Sorry folks, nothing ugly about this product, except for the fact that we here in the USA are (as usual) in the technological dark ages and can’t get great products like this if we had the cash.
