Qualcomm Mirasol ebook reader

Qualcomm has previewed its Mirasol ebook reader recently, boasting a 5.7″ display that offers full color and video playback without causing too much of an impact on battery life. The final product is expected to see color-enabled ebook readers equipped with Mirasol panels, where they’re aiming for a 2010 release date by OEMs. This isn’t the Holy Grail of e-ink technology, but it does take a step forwards in the right direction. As for its 5.7″ display, it will feature 1,024 x 768 resolution and around 220ppi for those who are interested in the nitty gritty.
