Sony recently announced their DPT-S1 e-ink touchscreen tablet featuring a massive 13.3-inch display for an equally massive 100000 yen (RM3244). The 13.3-inch touchscreen uses an e-ink display with a a resolution of 1200 x 1600. The E Ink Mobius display uses protective film, which according to Sony makes it easier to write on than existing tablets. While the screen is just greyscale with no colours, the tablet itself is just 6.88mm thin and 358 grams. This makes it thinner and lighter than the Apple iPad Air despite it's massive size. However, the DPT-S1 tablet isn't aimed at consumer markets and instead is headed for the enterprise or education fields as a digital paper solution. In these situations they would be ideal for viewing of high-resolution documents or papers and post-editing which could also be useful in legal documentation fields. No news or details on Malaysia release dates but it should be available for other markets from the Japan release date of 3 December 2013.
