The $299 Samsung E6 eReader is due to arrive in Apr or May.(Credit:Samsung)Samsungs new e-reader inclination have been kicking around for multiform months, but right away we"ve gotten word that the 6-inch model--the E60--will be expelled in the U.S. in the April-May time support with a MSRP of $299 and a tie-in to the Barnes & Nobles eBookstore.The E60s explain to celebrity is that you can make make make use of of it to take records and you can symbol up papers utilizing a special electromagnetic inflection (EMR) stylus coop thats enclosed with the device. Lose the stylus, though, and the hold facilities disappear, since you cant make make make use of of your finger with this sort of touch-screen display.The E60s alternative specifying facilities are a slide-out carry out row for when you dont wish to make make make use of of the stylus, expandable mental recall (2GB built-in), Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g) wireless connectivity, and Bluetooth for audio delivery to wireless headphones. Samsung says the "unique" EmoLink record enables users to share calm wirelessly in between Samsung eReader devices.I had a possibility to fool around around with the E60 and it has really got a little appealing features. However, the stylus communication with the monochrome arrangement feels a bit retro, as if I were utilizing an old iPaq PDA circa 1998. With the attainment of theiPad, I"m only not sure the got sufficient pizazz to contest at $299, but it will be engaging to see how it fares opposite Barnes & Nobles own Nook, that costs $40 less. According to Samsung, the E60 will suggest users a little of same Barnes & Noble facilities found on the Nook, together with the capacity to lend out sure ebooks to friends free of assign for up to fourteen days (big importance on "certain"). We"ve nonetheless to endorse either you"ll be means to tide ebooks wirelessly to the E60 if you"re inside a Barnes & Noble brick-and-mortar store, and B&N still hasnt expelled this underline to Nook users, so we"ll have to get behind to you on that.Comments?See some-more arriving e-readers:CES: 2010 new e-book readers galore (photos)
