We talked about this back in March when it was still hidden behind the lovely name Papyrus<\/a>. Well Samsung Electronics<\/strong> finally broke cover and has announced the new SNE-50K<\/strong> reader that it will sell in South Korea–at first. They’ve got plans to take over the world later, probably next year, according to Samsung. Read the article about its release here<\/a> at cnetnews<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It’s a cute little thing as you’ll see when you take the link, and it was designed to be compact with a 5-inch screen and weighing well under a half pound.\u00c2\u00a0 It cruises along with a sensible 512 MB memory and 600×800 pixel display.\u00c2\u00a0 There is a list of specifics at the cnetnews <\/strong>article<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Priced at $270<\/strong> it’s still too expensive but its sleek lines and modern profile might win the hearts of some early adopters.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s worth checking out.<\/p>\n

I will definitely miss its former name. I like to whisper it: Papyrus…\u00c2\u00a0 sigh<\/em>!<\/p>\n
