Recently, a new poster of Palm Reading has attracted the attention of many people, and Palm Reading has a new product to be released, but this time it is no longer an e-book reader product that we are familiar with, but a "handwriting device".
This time, Palm Reading is going to launch a full range of products that can read, write, and draw, and if that's the case, what kind of product will it be? Let's analyze it.
First of all, we need to look at the attitude of palm reading to make products. Palm Reading's existing products are all aimed at reading users, and the most direct and largest competitor is the Kindle from Amazon. In the past three years, Palm Reading has single-handedly opposed this reader product from the United States, and the result is that its own product design and experience are getting better and better, and it is among the best among domestic brands.
Among them, its flat screen, intelligent page turning key, and Reader UI have been used handily. As long as you experience the more than 900 yuan of iReader T6, you will know that such a product has been designed to the extent that users are not picky.
Second, can e-books only be read? Again, this is a problem. We know that on existing readers, it is very troublesome to add annotations by pinyin on the capacitive screen. There is a saying that does not move pen and ink and does not read books, but it is not easy to achieve for readers.
In fact, the EINK screen is very malleable, so why not do a function expansion? In addition to the touch capacitive screen, coupled with a stylus with a pen edge, the product has the ability to read and write at the same time, which is obviously more suitable for this electronic ink screen.
Third, let's go back to another point, which is the value of writing. There is no doubt that writing allows people to better turn what they read into thinking in their brains and deepen their impressions. Compared to reading at a glance and ten lines, writing may affect efficiency, but it will deepen memory. And many users who read for the sake of knowledge, is not the purpose of deepening memory and thinking?
And this year, the stylus has a booming trend, first of all, the basic iPad supports the stylus, Samsung also launched the yellow stylus Note 9, it is said that the new iPhone released in September also supports the stylus. In fact, it is also true that many operations after you are used to using the pen, you will not be willing to use your fingers again, just as many operations you prefer to choose fingers, both have their own strengths.
Finally, and a real problem, is the combination of electronic paper and stylus, what is the difference between a tablet? We can see several aspects:
The flat plate weighs heavier, the same 10-inch product, the electronic paper handwriting product is 350 grams, the tablet is 450 grams; the screen friction when the tablet is handwritten is insufficient, there is no paper writing feeling, more like sliding on the glass, the electronic paper is different; the screen flashing and refreshing the tablet is harmful to the eyes, and the electronic paper is static; the tablet entertainment is rich, and the handwriting device may only focus on thinking and learning.
It can be seen that although this kind of product is novel, it is not without its own value and position, and it is specially built for the learning crowd and should be its biggest feature.
In addition, there is also a saying that tablets and stylus have not become mainstream in office meeting notes, but handwriting devices with electronic paper as a carrier are possible.
The following two pictures are the new products that will be released this time, so you may wish to take a look at them first.
The new product will open pre-sale on August 27 on the Tmall mall, and from the poster, it seems to be a customized product of the Tmall mall. In short, it is always a good thing to have a new product for people who are more eager to learn.
