They even found a download link for the Boyue firmware running on it.Ĭlearly Arta Tech has a new hardware partner. This blogger finds that detail newsworthy because I have been growing increasingly frustrated with Onyx repeatedly delaying the launch of their next devices. Over at MobileRead this device has been identified as the Boyue T61D. Update: And I’m not the only one to make the connection. In fact, the Inkbook looks like a clone of the T61, only with upgraded electronics. It doesn’t quite have the same specs (no audio, for example) but the similarities are to great for this too be a coincidence. The Inkbook Onyx shares the same design and even the same screen contents as Boyue’s other ereaders like the T62+ (aka the Energy Sistem Pro+ eReader), including the button placement (even the case is identical). No, in spite of the misleading name the Inkbook Onyx is actually made by Boyue. For more details, check out the Arta Tech website.Īndroid ereaders are a dime a dozen these days, but this one caught my eye because this one clearly isn’t made by Onyx, Arta Tech’s long term hardware partner.
ARTATECH INKBOOK OBSIDIAN PLUS
The Inkbook Onyx retails for about 100 euros plus VAT, and it was available early this month.
ARTATECH INKBOOK OBSIDIAN INSTALL
There’s also no mention of Google Play, which means you might have to put in extra effort to load Android apps. But on the plus side, you can install Android apps, and the Inkbook Onyx ships with a very adequate reading app, web browser, and a suite of cloud services from Arta Tech. It has 8GB internal storage, a microSD card slot, and Wifi, but there’s no mention in the listing of audio support or Bluetooth. It runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean on a dual-core 1GHz CPU with 512MB RAM. The Inkbook Onyx sports a 6″ Carta E-ink screen (1024 x 758 resolution) with frontlight and capacitive touchscreen.
They’re announcing the release of their newest model, the Inkbook Onyx, a 6″ ereader that runs Android on a dual-core CPU. I just got an email from Arta Tech, an ereader seller in Poland.
Rarely do new product launches signal a shift in the market, but I think there’s more to this next device than meets the eye. Arta Tech Partners With Boyue, Releases the Inkbook Onyx Android eReader
