Samsung still hasn't committed to a formal launch date for the e-reader line it launched at CES, but the company narrowed down the launch date from "early 2010" to "this spring" this morning -- which makes sense, seeing as spring has nearly, uh, sprung. The big news is that Sammy's partnered up with Barnes and Noble, so there's a built-in content ecosystem for these guys at launch; whether anyone will choose the $399 six-inch E6 over the popular Nook remains to be seen, but the $699 10-inch E10 certainly fills a gap in the B&N lineup. We've still no word on whether or not the QWERTY-equipped E61 will hit the States, but we're looking out for more info -- we'll let you know. In the meantime, you can watch a video of all three devices right here.
