The 13.3″ device has the same screen resolution as on the DPT-S1 (1,600 x 1,200). That’s okay I got to play with them both. I found the Netronix booth via Charbax, who shot this video:Īs you can see in the video, Charbax focuses on just the larger of the two devices.
Update: There’s conflicting info on the touchscreens I was told that there was an IR touchscreen, while Charbax was told that it was a capacitive touchscreen.īoth devices were also missing a silo for the stylus, which I see as a serious defect. (For reference, the Sony Digital Paper DPT-S1 has a similar dual touchscreen.)
Both ran Android 4.0.4 on a Freescale chip, and they had identical touchscreen tech: an IR touchscreen plus a stylus-friendly digitizer touchscreen. Aside from the screen sizes, they had largely the same specs. They had a 13.3″ ereader and a 6.8″ ereader. Netronix was at CES 2015 to show off a couple new prototypes. They’ve been designing and building ereaders for years, and past and current partners include Kobo, B&N, Bookeen, and others. The above picture shows netronix’s 13.3″ prototype with my 8″ InkPad in front so you can see the difference in screen size.Īnyone who follows ereader news for long enough can tell you that Netronix is an old hand in the industry.
One of the high points for my trip to CES this year was finding the DaSung E-ink monitor hidden in the back of the E-ink booth, and the other high point for this trip was _finally_ finding the Netronix booth and getting some one on one time with their latest prototypes.
