ReMarkable may be launching a smaller tablet – here are 3 things I want to see
- ReMarkable is teasing a new product launch for September 3
- It could be a more portable e-paper tablet
- We’ve had three ReMarkable tablets launch so far
We’ve had three generations of the ReMarkable tablet so far, but there’s apparently another one on the way – and all the indications are that we’re going to see an e-paper device with a smaller form factor.
ReMarkable has posted a teaser clip advertising a special event for September 3, at 8am ET (that’s 5am PT / 1pm BST / 10pm AEST), and a new product launch looks likely.
Based on the very brief glimpse we get of a tablet, and the tagline “something is on the move”, it seems portability is being prioritized this time around. It makes sense that ReMarkable might want to release a more pocket-friendly version of its E Ink device.
There are also hints about thicker bezels and color support here, although it’s difficult to be certain from such a brief series of shots. If you want to join in with the speculation ahead of Wednesday, head to this Reddit thread.
What I want to see
Having used the ReMarkable 2 extensively, I’m pleased to see that another tablet is on the way from the company: ReMarkable’s products have always been reliable and well made, and I think a more portable digital notebook is a good idea.
In terms of what I want to see from the ReMarkable Pocket (or whatever it’s called), I think a strong selection of cases is a must: a variety of options for keeping the device well protected on the move, and which offers somewhere to stow the stylus.
Something else I’d really like to see is support for certain third-party note-taking apps. I use Google Keep to organize much of my life, and it would be great to be able bring these notes up on screen, in addition to the existing Google Drive support.
Finally, this might be wishful thinking, but I’d love to see a price as low as ReMarkable can get it. The latest ReMarkable Paper Pro starts at $579 / £559 / AU$929, which is relatively steep, and a more affordable option in a smaller form factor would be most welcome.
