Sony today announced availability of the wireless Reader Daily Edition, a new eReader that comes equipped with Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity from AT&T.
The Reader Daily Edition includes Sony’s optical touch screen technology on a 7-inch, full touchscreen, according to a press release.
The Reader Daily Edition gives consumers wireless access to Sony’s Reader Store from most of the U.S. via Wi-Fi or 3G and is powered by Gobi Technology by Qualcomm. It also includes basic Web browsing functionality via Wi-Fi and pre-loaded, reading-based URLs, including: Google.com, Wikipedia.org, Twitter.com, Facebook.com, cnbc.com and cnet.com.
There are no monthly fees or transaction charges for the basic wireless connectivity and users still have the option to side load personal documents or content from other compatible sites via USB.
