Fujitsu FLEPia: Almost Everything That Had to be the Kindle 2

Everyone who likes ebooks readers know that one of its major shortcomings is the difficulty to display color images, which is derived from the system and technology of electronic ink typically used.
However, this could change thanks to the launch of the Fujitsu FLEPia, a gadget that many expected to come forward and break schemes to be the first reader ebooks mass-market color.
The toys will have an 8-inch touch screen with an XGA resolution (1024 x 768 pixels) that is capable of displaying 260,000 colors. This will allow not only more pleasant to use, but expands the market for certain areas where you need color atlas such as biology, magazines.

It also has Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity, it also has a storage capacity of 4GB of internal flash memory and the SD slot that many longed wanted in the Kindle 2, in fact, there appears to be a partner with content producers such as which will take the reader ebooks Hearst, but it has compatibility with PDF files (which hopefully is better than the Kindle 2), TXT, Microsoft Office files, HTML, etc.
Within the "bad" device, we find the lack of 3G connectivity (though it could connect to such networks via an adapter), the refresh rate of the screen is somewhat slower and autonomy is diminished to the point of reaching out to 40 hours. All this without considering the main disadvantage, its price, as from April 24 will be available for approximately USD $ 1045. It certainly is a prohibitive price ... but as a great technological advancement.
