Hanvon’s Ereader Uses a Color E-Ink Display, and may Be the First to head on Sale [EReaders]

A similar Chinese company that took hammers to an apple-shaped ice-sculpture is claiming they have got the first color ereader using e-ink, due in China in March. Bet the battery life’s far greater than the color Nook’s, which uses an LCD.

Hanvon’s ereader has a 9.6-inch e-ink display, and should go on sale in March for the equivalent of $440 in Chinese money-a little bit lower than what the iPad sells for there. ” It’s possible that we’ll sell this inside the US in addition,” Hanvon’s chairman told the NY Times, but with Barnes & Noble’s color Nook expected to be $250 when it hits shops later this month, I know which one I’d choose.
