ASUS announces DR-900 eReader

Dancing on the grave of Acer, who put the kibosh on their eReader plans mere days ago, ASUS have now announced a third eReader.

Mostly the same as the DR-950 we saw a few weeks ago, this model sports a 9″ touchscreen e-ink display with resolution of 1024×768, 4GB storage and support for all the major eBook formats.  This model also sports WiFi and 3G connectivity, so you can purchase books while you’re out and about.  The battery is rated for an impressive 10,000 pages turns (that’s enough to read the entire Harry Potter series twice, bookworms), and this model sports a headphone jack so you can have your books read to you in a soothing Text-to-Speech Engine brogue if that’s your thing.

No word on the all-important pricing and release dates yet, but hopefully all that will become clear over the next few days at CeBIT.
