Ricoh unveiled the eQuill e-reader yesterdayJune 1st, 2011 by Nate Hoffelder · 3 Comments · hardware news
Ricoh announced an e-reader yesterday, but not much information floating around. The website is not up yet and I cannot find any any source docs, but I can confirm that Ricoh have a trademark for this gadget. I’ve also gotten a hint that Ricoh are showing it off right now at the All Things Digital conference.
The eQuill is supposed to be based on a 9.7″ epaper screen (it could be E-ink or Sipix) and it has a stylus, Wifi, 5MP camera, mike, optional keyboard, and it also is supposed to have a 1″ LCD screen for the camera. It weighs under around a pound and is targeted for the enterprise market.
It’s going to ship in the US in the next few months with a price starting at US$500.
Update: It’s on display at the All Things Digital conference this week, which is where the All Things Digital shot this video:
Fast little bugger, isn’t it?
