Earlier this month, E Ink announced that it will partner with
Marvell, a manufacturer of microprocessors, to produce a series of integrated processors for e-readers and other electronic devices. An
article from Publishers Weekly says that the new technology will integrate the two microprocessors contained in many of the e-readers that are available today which could help reduce the price and improve the performance of e-readers. In addition, it could reduce power consumption to extend battery life and allow for easier integration of wireless connectivity. The new technology will be included in the
Plastic Logic Que and the
enTourage eDGe e-readers that are due out early next year.
