Thanks to the FCC, we’ve known for some time that Sony is planning on releasing the PRS-T1, a new e-reader that will add to Sony’s Reader lineup. Now, thanks to a Dutch retail site, we have some additional specs to share with you as well. The site pegs this new reader at 6-inches with a 800×600 e-ink screen, which will be capable of multi-touch gestures like pinch to zoom, which should come in hand when you need to enlarge text. For those who are always into learning new things or may need help with their reading, Sony is also including a built-in Wikipedia and Google search, which can be activated by simply pushing down on a word. Thanks to a new plastic body, the PRS-T1 will also be shedding some weight, dropping down to 6 ounces, versus the 7.6-ounce weight of the PRS-650. The juiciest part of all this might however be in the layout of the buttons, which are very similar to buttons on Android devices. Beyond that, there isn’t much information to prove or disprove the inclusion of some form of Android OS built in. With the device passing through the FCC for approval many months ago, we imagine that we won’t have to wait too long to find out the answer to that.
