I feel like the specs on rm2 are a bit outdated. Personally compared to an iPad for example there is a noticeable delay. Any1 any updates about a new version coming out?

    iPad is not a good benchmark to compare rM2 with. It’s great for notetaking (for which it is supposed to be used). I tried Boox recently but came back to remarkable because of it’s superior writing feel.

    Compared to an iPad? Compared to a device where they make each version obsolete on purpose in order to sell the next new device?

    Remarkable is excellent with constantly improving the tablet. Id prefer they continue to release new excellent software improvements instead of moving on from the RM2 to release an RM3.

    Repeated response to a repeated question.

    The best indication of an rM3 in development is new device filings by the company to the US Federal Communications Commission. Schematics and other documentation for new devices with any wireless radios must be submitted to the FCC for approval before going to market. ReMarkable’s pattern so far has been to lodge documents with the FCC 18 to 24 months before their devices launch. There not being any new filings on their company page at the FCC website, there is nothing in pipeline that we can expect to see in the short to medium term.

    Secondly, considering the screen to be the most critical part of the reMarkable platform, there have been no developments in the e-ink space that has produced a significantly clearer, more responsive or faster refreshing panel in greyscale or colour to trigger the company to want to do a hardware refresh. The company’s current standard would require the panel to be whiter, faster, and fully usable without back or side lighting.

    That said, they may be watching developments in the colour e-ink space around which they might build a device. But, as noted, a colour rM would have to beat the rM2 in all performance areas. Colour e-ink isn’t there yet.
