iRex Technologies ePaper

Topic:

iRex Technologies, a Philips spin-off introduced their first ePaper device for reading and writing.

The iRex electronic paper display combines wireless networking and touch screen technologies. The 8.1 inch display display features 16 grey levels.

Sony has one of those on the market since 2004 (Sony Librie). Ok, the iRex iliad lets users apparently capture user input. Is this than a just a huge PDA? Anyway lets have a closer look when it actually is in stores. Read more
