Qualcomm mirasol color video ebook readers to ship in 2010

From Slashgear -

Qualcomm is showing off its 5.7" mirasol ebook reader capable of full color and video playback, with minimal impact on battery life. While photo above is that of a mock-up, the display panel is an actual working unit.

Per Qualcomm, mirasol is able to enhance battery performance. A color e-ink video-capable Kindle would last roughly a day using the same battery; the same unit with a mirasol panel would last a week. In addition, the mirasol panel performs best in bright lighting. Text is crisp and readable at a XGA 1,024 x 768 resolution and around 220ppi.

Target delivery is H2 2010 and Qualcomm is already working with multiple OEMs.
