Hot on the heels of the Reader Pocket Edition and the Reader Touch Edition, the Reader Daily Edition was announced by Sony yesterday. It will initially be available from AT&T in the US, and yes, it sports 3G.
The Daily Edition has a 7-inch widescreen e-ink display, making it the tallest of all of Sony’s ebook readers. In landscape, the wide screen lets you view two pages at a time.
The Daily Edition’s 3G capabilities are of course the biggest draw here, placing it toe to toe with Amazon’s Kindle. 3G access will be free, just like the Kindle on US telco Sprint’s EV-DO network, letting you access the Sony ebook store and purchase books wherever you are. The bad news is you won’t be able to surf or do anything else with the 3G connection.
As the Daily Edition requires telco support – and publishing rights from ebooks are another thorny issue – don’t hold your breath waiting for this product to arrive in the Philippines.
Note: I wish that they'll finally sell ebook readers here in the Philippines. i will definitely buy one! This new choices from Sony looks better than Kindle, esp since it can read different formats unlike in Kindle where it's mostly Kindle format.
