BenQ to launch a solar-powered e-reader in 2011

BenQ is set to launch a solar-powered e-reader (based on the K60, probably) in 2011. The solar-power will probably not be enough to actually power it, and will only be used to extend the battery life. We don't have any more info, but if it'll be based on the K60 (that's the reader in the photo we have from BenQ) than it'll be using a 6" E Ink display, 3G wireless and 2Gb of on board memory (with a microSD slot, too).

BenQ is also showing a concept notebook with a PV cell. but that's just a concept, not a device they actually consider shipping.
