If you're a sucker for immaculate specs at a discount price then the Cube e-book reader might be the device for you. The Chinese outfit is said to be working on a 6-inch, E Ink reader built around the Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system with baked-in WiFi (sorry, no mention of 3G data) for "remote server synchronization." And as declared in the image above, the Cube e-reader features a capacitive touchscreen just "like the iPhone." Apparently, it'll do more than just display e-books though, with a touted ability to make VoIP calls, browse the web, send and receive email, and download music and photos -- all this for just 999 Chinese Yuan or about $146. Sure, go ahead and build it Cube, but until we see a product render at least forgive us for being skeptical.Cube's 6-inch capacitive touchscreen e-reader is a Windows Mobile 6.5 fantasyland (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/cubes-6-inch-capacitive-touchscreen-e-reader-is-a-windows-mobil/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Tue, 09 Feb 2010 05:59:00 EST.
