Uma revolução vinda de Dresden: Um leitor de plástico
Foi apresentado ao mundo recentemente um gadget que promete revolucionar o negócio dos Editores e Jornais. Vem de Dresden na Alemanha e muito simplesmente é um leitor digital feito em plático, muito resistente, muito fino, capaz de armazenar imensa informação e com uma bateria de grande capacidade. O produto descrito pelos seus autores:
Plastic Logic is using our proprietary technology leadership in plastic electronics to create a range of products enabling information access, organization, and consumption. Our first product, focused on reading digital content, will enter the market in early 2009.
Differentiated by a stunning form factor (the size of 8.5 x 11-inch paper), the Plastic Logic reader features a big readable display. Yet it’s thinner than a pad of paper, lighter than many business periodicals, and offers a high-quality reading experience – better than alternatives of paper or other electronic readers on the market today.
The Plastic Logic reader supports a full range of business document formats, such as Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint, and Adobe PDFs, as well as newspapers, periodicals and books. It has an easy gesture-based user interface and powerful software tools that will help business users to organize and manage their information. Users can connect to their information either wired or wirelessly and store thousands of documents on the device. The reader incorporates E Ink technology for great readability and features low power consumption and long battery life. The Plastic Logic reader is scheduled to ship in the first half of 2009.
The Plastic Logic reader brings a panoply of business information to your fingertips with powerful tools to make people more productive and simplify their work lives.
