PocketBook plans to introduce a new five models line of eBook readers at the IFA show in Berlin next month.
The expanded product portfolio includes the entry-level models PocketBook Pro 602 and Pro 902, the Premium model Pro 603 and Pro 903 and the PocketBook IQ with TFT color screen.
All new models were in close cooperation with the Foxconn Technology Group, the Taiwanese company which has been producing the Kindle for Amazon, Nook for Barnes & Nobles and for Sony , the Reader. Even Apple makes the iPhone and iPad with Foxconn. Even if they’re called “pocketbooks” these 6 to 10 inch devices probably won’t actually fit in your pocket but they are really attractive little devices. Despite the usual approach of slapping an eInk display on a tablet style machine with a low power processor, these PocketBook’s upcoming models stands out, thanks to its color display and Android operating system.
The PocketBook IQ will have a 7 inch TFT color touchscreen display, built-in WiFi and Bluetooth. The device will run Android 2.0. There are no details regarding the CPU, memory, or battery life.
