Caro iRex Iliad e-ink e-book

Posted by Charbax on 27th March 2007

E-ink technology is awesome and it is about to replace the whole printing industry. The quality of this e-book is the same as printed text on white paper. Just imagine one sheet of paper that can load any of the worlds books digitized by Google Books, from Blogs, from online newspapers, from Wikipedia articles and other articles generated from user generated text content, as well as forum posts and more. There just needs to be some automatic selection of daily content as well as more features which this actual first generation e-ink product is missing like resume from ram and flash, pre-processing pages for faster page loading, currently there is about a second delay for pages to load and a slight delay for the WACOM magnetic touch-screen technology. it’s also based on Linux and there are online communities of third party developpers adding features to it.

Those are awesome full HD 1080p Mpeg4, H264, Mpeg2, WMV decoders based on the Sigma Designs EM8622L, the most powerfull HD video decoding DSP on the market. This device also uses a Toshiba TX4939 CPU and runs Linux, this provides some really awesome and unique features to this IP set-top-box. You can download video-on-demand directy onto its hard disk drive using BitTorrent peer-to-peer, or using progressive downloading, which means the video plays in real-time while it downloads into the built-in hard disk drive. This device can also come with a DVD burner which is great to backup the downloaded video-on-demand material if one wants to make some space on the built-in 160GB hard disk drive. For now MSI provides this solution only through Internet Service providers and Content providers. This could be the ultimate sub-300$ does-it-all HD box for the living room.
