Sagem is the latest company to get into the e-reader business. The French company has introduced Sagem Binder, which happens to be a white-label product. That means other companies will be able to make modifications to this e-reader and put their brand on it. Sagem Binder has a 6 inch touchscreen display and supports both WiFi and 3G network connections. It does offer a long battery life (8000 page turns per page), which is expected.
The eReader market has developed quickly but until now has been plagued by a simple trade-off – do you want a smaller form factor and less features, or a fully connected experience but with a device that is no longer pocket-sized… By focusing on the user experience and using the latest technology, we have developed a device that solves this conundrum,
said Sagem Wireless’ Jérôme Nadel. The Binder is available from FNAC, as FnabBook. It is not clear whether it will be coming to this side of the world. Nevertheless, here is a summary of its specifications:
- Dimensions: 152mm x 123mm x 10.7mm
- Weight: <240g
- Memory: 2GB internal flash; up to 16GB microSD
- Screen: 6” Sipix ePaper with capacitive touch and accelerometer
- Connectivity: GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA, HSDPA, WiFi, USB 2.0
- Multimedia: TXT, Epub, PDF, HTML, JPEG, PNG, BMP and music formats (MP3) including full playlist support
Impressive? You be the judge.
