device itself, and designed around ‘ease of use’ and mobility, Readius®
is optimised for reading for 30 hours without battery charge.
The 3G HSDPA tri-band phone allows worldwide calls and high speed
instant updates from personally selected news sources, special services

other favorite information and eBooks. Readius® also features phone as
well as audio capabilities (such as MP3) for podcasts, audio books and
