Fora while now Qualcomm has been working on its mirasol display technology and despite rumors of a delay, they've now announced in partnership with Kyobo in South Korea to bring to market the world’s first e-reader using the technology.
Featuring a 5.7” XGA format (1024 x 768 pixels) mirasol display with 223 ppi, the Kyobo e-reader will be powered by a Qualcomm 1GHz Snapdragon S2 class processor using Android 2.3 with a custom UI in place.
The Kyobo e-reader will be available at bookstore locations across South Korea, including Kyobo’s flagship Gwanghwamun-jum location in Seoul, for a retail price of KRW349,000 (US$310).
We're guessing we won't ever see the device in the North America but it sure would be nice to see some manufacturers pick up the display for use on devices we can get our hands on. Hit up the source link below to catch a video of the display in action. Plus, the press release is just after the break.
