Not everyone is yet sold on the amazing qualities of the Amazon Kindle. You may be waiting for a reader that has better graphics and actually has color imagery. Well, your wait may be over with the release of the Fujitsu Flepia, the first color e-book reader in the world.
The Flepia has just been pre-released today for orders in Japan and could be heading stateside before we know it. Right now, it carries a whopping price tag of $1000, but hopefully that figure will drop with time. The Flepia includes some cool features, like Bluetooth and Wi-fi capabilities, a mini USB port and an 8 inch touch screen that displays in full color. The battery lasts 40 hours and allows users to access a full keyboard.
You can do more on the Flepia than just read books; it comes fully loaded with the latest version of Windows CE. Users are able to browse the web, read emails and more. The device will begin shipping out on April 20.
