SKIFF AND SPRINT RELEASE NEW SKIFF READER AT 2010 INTERNATIONAL CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW

I am an avid observer of how the publishing world is on the brink of something huge with the wave of e-reader technology finally coming of age and bringing something convenient to use, coupled with a great offering, to consumers.

Skiff, an e-reading and advertising company backed by Hearst , recently announced the release of their latest device in e-Reader technology. The device is said to be the largest (11.5inches), thinnest (see pic), with highest display resolution (1200x1600pixels), and the entire screen surface is full touch screen.

See the press release.

The Skiff device will target newspaper and magazine based content. They are also providing manufactures with an RDK to help them create differentiation while they prototype and release new advancements in this space.

I will definitely be keeping an eye on Skiff's developments and their e-reading service platform this year.
