Back in the IT section of the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, Hanvon showed off E920, the first–and the company claims still only–E Ink reader. There are a number of color eBook readers on the market already, of course (including, perhaps most prominently, Barnes & Noble’s NookColor), but this is the first to utilize the E Ink technology, which, among other things, gives the device the decided benefit of extremely good battery life.
There are some disadvantages to the the technology. The colors are all pretty dull, compared to those devices with more tablet-like displays. The pages are also pretty slow to refresh–on-par with first generation eBook readers.
The E920 does 802.11g, but has not 3G capability built-in. The screen is 9.7 inches and touch-based.
