Unfortunately, the Hanvon C18 will not be available to residents of North America – another e-reader would have been great for lowering prices for US consumers. Unfortunately, for anyone outside of China, you probably won’t see this device, as it is designed specifically for the Asian market, but you could see that the Mirasol screen will be used in the near future. It will be on the shelves around mid-February of 2012, but neither Hanvon nor Qualcomm have revealed how much it will cost. If you want to get your paws on this nifty e-reader, you don’t have to wait too long. In addition, users can use the Hanvon Input handwriting recognition function, which is unique to this device. The Hanvon C18 will have access to thousands and thousands of e-books, over a hundred different newspapers and more than three hundred magazines. Thanks to the Mirasol display, you can also expect the battery to last for weeks and support video and other media formats.Ī big draw for the Kindle and Nook is the book selection, but Hanvon has this covered. Hanvon C18 runs on a 1.0GHz Snapdragon processor and it runs on a custom Google Android Core operating system. The display is a 5.7-inch XGA touchscreen that uses the aforementioned Mirasol technology. In fact, it is the third company in two months to use it in an e-reader, which means that we can definitely expect Qualcomm’s new display to be more widespread in the future. The Hanvon C18 is not the only company to use the new Mirasol display.
Overall, the Mirasol display consumes 1/10 of the power to produce a vivid image than an LCD screen does. Mirsol is a type of screen that uses soft indirect light, which is then tuned and reflected at the viewer. Mirasol is a technology that Qualcomm has been working on for several years, and it is a solution for the energy-consuming LCD displays that other devices use. It’s called Hanvon C18 and Hanvon used Qualcomm’s new energy-efficient Mirasol display for its new e-reader. Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacobs had the pleasure of announcing the thinnest and lightest e-reader at CES 2012 the other day. While both the Kindle and the Nook have incredible features and are fantastic e-readers, a new overseas contender has recently emerged and has just been unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show on June 10. In the United States, there is fierce competition between e-readers, especially between the two biggest names in the industry: Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
