Readers are now saying goodbye to PDA’s with the advent of e-book readers. It started from the Amazon Kindle, and sooner Barnes and Nobles released their own version with their Nook. Sony also joined the bandwagon with their e-reader – the PRS-300 and PRS-600. The Apple iPad then followed, and several other readers available at the gadget market, sporting different features and addons to suit the needs of every user.
Amazon and Barnes & Noble announced their new e-readers and price cuts in recent weeks, of course, Sony follows the trail. Sony is soon to bring out its next-generation e-readers – the PRS-350 and PRS-650. Sources say that the new e-readers will both be touch-screen models, with a very slim design (10mm), expanded internal memory (2GB), user-interface tweaks, and “competitive pricing.” The report states that the PRS-350 will be a 5-inch model with no wireless connectivity and the 6-inch PRS-650 will at least feature Wi-Fi and possibly 3G. (Note: even with this report, we wouldn’t be surprised if the PRS-350 doesn’t have a touch screen). Source: CNet.com
