Haipagia Announces Encrypted E-Reader

Haipagia of Japan has just released a fairly standard looking (6-inch display, 800 x 600 resolution) e-reader called Hyper Gear. This guy is similar to most other e-readers, except for one major difference – this package offers sophisticated encryption for documents under the hood that will DRM your files and password protect them.
Could this be what’s necessary to see massive adoption of e-readers in the enterprise? It’s certainly a step in the right direction. Look for Blackberry-style centralized e-document servers with admin delete functionality next…
Unfortunately, this guy is only available in Japan for now. and priced at around $440. Hopefully we’ll see them here soon. Our trees need saving too!
