Mike Cane spent a little bit of time giving a red Sony Reader a fondle, and I have to say that other than the terrible quality of his “crapcam” (that’s what he calls it, and I agree!), the new Reader is quite pretty…
As Mike says, “Yeah, that’s it. It’s really a rich metallic red color. It’s matte and not shiny. It’s simply and absolutely gorgeous!” He goes on to gush that “Sony’s done a great job here, offering this special color. I prefer it over the Silver — and especially over the light-sucking Dark Blue.”
I agree, the red is gorgeous, and now that you can use the Reader for much more than just loading Sony’s proprietary book shop’s items it looks even more attractive. If you are lusting after this spicy red number and would like to order one, there are plenty to be had.
If you would like to read more of Mike’s impressions and see more “crapcam” pictures, then head on over to Mike’s site.
I started Gear Diary on September 30, 2006, and my goal was that this not be an easily labeled site. We all have gear that we use daily – some of it electronic and some of it organic. I think it is fascinating to explore the equipment that makes our lives easier, more entertaining, more productive, and more manageable. My hope is that Gear Diary visitors will find this site to be a comfortable and friendly place to discuss interesting topics – and not only those that are tech related, as well as a location to discover various types of gear – whatever that term may end up implying – that they never knew existed. My specialty is in-depth reviews written in a layman’s terms, because everyone can understand technology, sometimes it just takes a little translating. +Judie Stanford
