Network equipment maker Netronix is currently cooperating with Texas Instruments (TI) to develop e-book readers on the Android platform and expects shipments to top one million units in 2010, according to company chairman Arthur Lu.
The Android-based e-book readers will be able to interoperate with Android-powered handsets or other embedded devices, Lu explained.
Additionally, Netronix plans to incorporate 3G or 3.5G modules into e-book readers, transforming the digital reading devices also into personal communications devices, said Lu, who also expects Netronix will be able to roll out 3G/3.5G enabled e-book readers in mid-2010.
Netronix is currently shipping e-book readers at a rate of 30,000-60,000 a month in the fourth quarter of 2009 and expects total shipments for the quarter to reach 140,000 units, Lu stated.
