Orange Will Launch World's First Electronic Newspaper

Orange will launch world's first electronic newspaper

Postby Faw_Peter » 21 May 2008, 10:31

The world's first entirely electronic newspapers will be launched as trial France next week, offering not only morning headlines but automatic updates every hour within the day.
The touch-screen, device uses "ePaper" and "eInk" technology to make it as much like reading normal newsprint as possible. It includes both WiFi and a 3G mobile chip so news can be refreshed every hour during the day, even on the move.

Oh, I bet the world's first e-newspaper will be published in the French...

How about the English edition?

I tried to find some news about this device but I didn't find any. Probably it is not popular yet.

Don't worry, Peter. I think you'll find it in the near future...

The most thing I concern about here is when it will publish in the English edition...

I guess Orange is not stupid at all to publish it in another language but English. Otherwise the promotion will be useless.

Well, it's hard to be said here, Benn as this is a company that is based in France...So, it might be want to launch the e-newspaper in the French first...

Did you know that primarily the orange brand was destined for Hutchison Telecom's UK mobile phone network. But, later it had been bought by France Telecom.

I don't think orange was the first company to make an e-newspaper. There was an UK magazine that was launched recently and which is only published in an electronic form and its pages are really sliding as the real one thanks to a very good animation effect. I'll search for my inbox and then post a link to their website.
