We like a bit of ambition around these parts and Sharp's plans for
entering the US e-reader battlefield reek of the stuff. The Galapagos
tablets that recently enjoyed their Japanese debut are going to be
retooled, according to the Mainichi Daily News, to include new 3G
radios for the internet-addicted US consumer, while the primary
content format will also be switched from the proprietary XMDF in
Japan to the almost universally compatible EPUB. Content partnerships
are said to be brewing as we type, because, quite naturally, Sharp
intends to have its own e-bookstore for Americans as well. After the
Yanks, the company's said to be looking into bringing its 5.5- and
10.8-inch tablets to China, India, and Brazil. Highly ambitious indeed.
