Pocketbook likely won’t be announcing their Mirasol e

PocketBook has revealed the initial promotional imagery for the new e-reading devices it plans to debut at the IFA trade show in Berlin, and notably absent from the collection is a model featuring Mirasol technology. Among the officially teased hardware is the PB 903, but there is no visual evidence yet of a color display utilizing Qualcomm’s reflective screen tech.

Despite the absence of a Mirasol device in the current press materials, the collaboration between PocketBook and Qualcomm appears to be a reality rather than speculation. Information regarding this partnership has been emerging for several days. Attempts to contact Qualcomm for a statement on the matter have yielded no response, which suggests the company is not actively seeking to suppress the information.

Specific evidence supports the existence of this project. A representative from PocketBook’s public relations team provided what can be characterized as a non-denial, signaling the accuracy of the reports through indirect confirmation. Furthermore, several individuals with peripheral connections to the company have also mentioned the ongoing collaboration.

Supporting these claims is a report from a Russian blogger known for having a consistent track record with e-reader industry news. This source indicates that Qualcomm will launch its Mirasol technology with three primary partners, identifying PocketBook as the lead manufacturer for the European market. Given the reliability of this source, the partnership seems highly probable, even if a physical product is not ready for the upcoming Berlin exhibition.
