ASUS DR-570 e-reader: 6-inch OLED color screen, 122 hours of battery life

Then came this from scratch. We have not heard much from ASUS in the e-reader market, but according InGear Times Online, it is to build a 6-inch color OLED e-reader, which is currently dubbed the DR-570.

The device will play Flash video, both Wi-Fi and 3G, and if you think it can last for 122 hours on a single charge under “real-world conditions.” Which is not to sound like they believe it entirely. The device is to be published later this year.

We hope it will be affordable.
