Our friend Max from Zedomax checked out the first color e-reader over at the Hanvon CES 2011 booth. The 9.7 inch e-reader has a resolution of 1024 X 600. Just like the Amazon Kindle, this Hanvon e-reader doesn’t use any power when it’s displaying the page, it only consumes power to generate a new page. So if you have read 500 pages over a 2 day period only the generation of the 500 pages is what consumed power, the power consumption would have been the same if you read 500 pages over a 2 week period. With a battery life of 10,000 page turns this thing will hardly ever need a charge.
If you are not so interested in the technology that Hanvon is demonstrating have a look at the video and pictures after the jump, it might get you more interested about the Hanvon product offerings. Sorry about the lack of audio for the product introductions, I am blaming it on a technical glitch but it was simply my fault for having the camcorder in a wrong audio setting… I found it funny how branding took a back seat in this booth, the arms of the girls are branded with the same paper Hanvon labels as the cans of Mountain Dew that were handed out after the show.
