Touchscreens are giving technology companies a lot of play to create truly fascinating devices that try to create new experiences or recreate old practices and sensations optimized by the advantages of digital. In this field, the e-reader has been a benchmark in terms of reading, but on the other side of the coin, writing, there have also been advances and today we want to show you a device that focuses entirely on this. Sharp Digital Note.
We are facing a digital notepad with a 6 inch LCD touch screen that uses a stylus to enter spellings. It is the size of a phablet, but does not bring any functionality other than that of take notes, perhaps the most attractive characteristics of that type of device and that they inherited from the business PDAs that we saw at the beginning.
Also designed for work or creatives, use only the black and white through 16 shades within the grayscale. It's actually the same idea as the Boogie Board, that electronic board with airs Retro, but at a much more portable size and for purely personal use without offering the exhibition possibilities that if you have the white-on-black model. There will be some downloadable templates on which to later capture our annotations. Some could be tables, useful for data entry in work centers. Notes will be saved as images at 600 x 700 pixels.
The interesting thing is its autonomy that can last Up to 60 hours which seems to make us forget that it is an electronic device.
The price range is interesting and will remain below $ 200, specifically at $178 just a few bucks higher than the Kindle Fire and a few lower than the Nexus 7, tablets that can easily serve as notepads with the right app. The advantage is that it is lighter, thinner (only 4 mm) and will come with a case and stylus.
The product will only go on sale in Japan and it doesn't seem like he has any intention of coming to this side of the world. It is true that calligraphy and illustration have great importance in Japanese culture where the product is undoubtedly better located.
