From E-Ink-Info.com, a Chinese company called Peking University Founder has duplicated the exterior, at least, of the Kindle 2: They say they will release it by the end of 2009, in Japan, for around 210$ (the kindle is available for 299$. . It includes a cellular connection (they say it needs a SIM card) to download new books, and will use their own ‘Apabi’ ebook software. The screen is ‘about’ 6″, not sure what kind of display yet.

This seems like a much better product than the original Kindle 2.
GSM/Edge/3G connectivity is a great improvement over Kindle.
Rafal – the Kindles all have 3G connectivity (depending on service area) without any additional monthly fess so how is this better?
I assume getting a SIM card for one of these is going to cost some amount of money/month yes? Or would you be likely to use the one in your phone and swap as needed?
Oh, I meant people outside the US could finally use the 3G, Edge or GSM connectivity.
