iRex iLiad

<b>The iLiad is a portable device that lets you read and write as you do on paper everywhere you go.</b>

The iRex electronic paper display is the largest available in the market today with its 8-inch diameter and features 16 levels of grey where the industry standard is 4 levels of grey. In addition, the display is the only writable electronic paper display that is commercially available, enabling a whole range of new features like annotating, writing and an advanced user interface.

Just as with normal paper, you're able to make notes and annotate existing documents, but unlike paper your annotated documents and notes can easily be transferred to a PC or another iLiad. Your friends and colleagues can also add remarks or edit your notes and return them to you. The iLiad is not just about serious stuff, you can also do Sudoku and Crossword puzzles, read comics and sketch or draw on it.

iRex leather case. The iLiad has a wireless connection to automatically download content and updates over the Internet. You can also connect the iLiad directly to any PC with a USB cable.
