AT&T to produce ebook reader?

By Paul Biba

We’ve heard about this before, but in pretty general terms. However, Business Week is reporting that this is indeed true and that an ebook reader, with 3G connectivity, is in the works by the end of the year.

As Electronista says: AT&T has publicly acknowledged an effort to build 3G into more devices but, outside of netbook plans, has never discussed specific devices. All of its recent expansion is an attempt to move away from dependence on voice as faster 3G variants, and eventually 4G, put a far greater emphasis on data and will eventually turn phone calls into simple VoIP traffic.

Thanks to Michael von Glahn for the heads up.
