Samsung eReaders at CES

I haven't really talked about Samsung, I guess mostly because I don't expect them to make a dent in the US marketplace. They are releasing a 6" and 10" reader, at $399 and $699 respectively, and without built in 3G (WiFi is included).

The competition is at $259 for the 6" and the Kindle DX at $489. Granted you don't get handwriting capability at that price, but I'm not sure that's a major selling point for a book reader. Plus, with the exception of Sony's low and mid priced units, the competition has 3G wireless. Sony's Daily Reader Edition matches the $399 price point, and the touch interface - and has 3G!

USA Today has a blurb on the Samsung announcements.
