I feel like the specs on rm2 are a bit outdated.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?

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.

Yeah, for me to upgrade it would probably have to be everything as good as the RM2 plus colour.

I'd be happy with very basic colour that is adequate for highlighting, but not if it was at a lower resolution or was a drop in performance.

I don't see much advantage for a relatively small company to do anything other than software improvements until then.
