Sharp RD-CX100 entertains and informs

This sweet little eBook reader and mp3 player from Sharp boasts a 4.3″ TFT LCD display and Voxware audio technology. So far, the only eBooks available for the RD-CX100 are dictionaries, but Sharp already has 63 different dictionaries for it! No word on how much storage space it has, or whether the QWERTY keyboard hints at text-entry capability. There is also no word on whether the dictionary eBooks can include an audio component, so you can hear the proper pronunciation of words. Also no word on price or availability (gee, there’s a lot of unknowns here, aren’t there?), but the RD-CX100 is currently only available for Korea, and is likely to stay there. — Mike Payne
