when I say this is a gadget to wait for, I do mean it. If you are thinking of buying a ebook reader or a tablet this is the best of both worlds. The device os not yet known but it should have Android and if that's true this is going to be a great device.
Here's what Sharp would confirm about the upcoming Galapagos:
Whatever the final size, the screen will have a wide, 16:9 aspect ratio (as opposed to the more square-ish screens found on many e-book readers and tablets, including the 4:3 iPad).
The Galapagos "will offer consumers wide access to e-books, movies, games, and music" via a Sharp-specific app and content store. Magazines and newspapers will be available via an "Automated Scheduled Delivery Service" (similar to periodical delivery on the Kindle).
Storage is handled via a MicroSD card (presumably included).
In addition to ePUB, the Galapagos will use the XMDF (ever-eXtending Mobile Document Format) file format for documents. Sharp says this format offers better reflow and reformatting options on various screen sizes. (No word on support for PDF.)
The Galapagos will support Web browsing and e-mail. Home control (using it as a giant remote) is also on the road map.
10.8-incher with 1366 x 800 resolution is what is expected.
