Kobo Vox eReader Tablet hits the FCC, shrouded in bookish mystery

What’s this mystery e-reader? It is the Kobo Vox, and it just made its debut at the FCC’s site. Is it a reworked version of the relatively recently released Touch Edition ? Is it a brand spanking new reader from the corporate? The device is listed as being an “eReader Tablet,” so perhaps it’s something more corresponding to Barnes & Noble’s Nook Color or the Kindle tablet reportedly inside the works from Amazon. And should Kobo’s recent appearance at f8 play into the equation? It’s hard to claim, but there are some things worth noting here. First, if the above rough image is to be believed, the device is touchscreen, as with the company’s current product. The design, however, looks so much more just like the latest version of the Nook than the brand new Kobo. an aspect shot reveals what seems to be a microUSB slot (no shocker there) and a headphone jack, something missing on both the newest Kobo and Nook (though both the latest Kindle and the Nook Color rock one), while a “multimedia headset” was utilized in the testing. Also listed some of the testing materials is a microUSB card, so there seems a fine chance that this thing has expandable memory — again, not a surprise, neither is the truth that the reader is listed as being WiFi-enabled.
