Hands-On: Irex 1000s E-Book

[DowJones VentureWire Technology Showcase - EuroTech] I was happy to meet with iRex CEO Hans Brons who was exhibiting his great e-book at the VentureWire Technology Showcase conference. I was impressed by the quality of the 10.2″ display that looks way better than the Plastic Logic prototype that I saw at DEMO. According to Hans Brons, this is due to the 16-level grey scale featured in the iRex, the Plastic Logic e-book has only 4-level grey scale like the Kindle. Another unique feature is the ability to write and store notes on the documents, the Plastic Logic e-book had it too but not as advanced (from the demo I saw). The iRex 1000s launched in September, has no connectivity, but the iRex 1000 SW , available in Q1 2009, features Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, a proprietary web browser and may be Bluetooth and 3G (I have to check for sure, it is not on the product sheet).
