Sharp plans two new ereader tablets for Verizon later this year

Looking to enter the ereader/tablet market in the United States, Sharp announced two different ereader models that will be available sometime later this year. The smaller and probably cheaper device boasts a 5.5 inch LCD touch screen, while the larger and high-end device sports a 10.8 inch LCD touch screen. In addition to being an ereader, both devices are capable of playing music and videos, while browsing the web at 3G speeds. Hoping to compete with the iPad in America, Sharp has teamed up with Verizon in order to launch the ereaders with 3G enabled. The two devices will use Sharp’s XMDF which is its native method of eBook delivery service and it combines audio and video. No word on pricing or exact availability at this time.
