Michael Cader’s ‘s Michael Publishers Lunch passes along an AP story that Plastic Logic “will use AT&T’s network to support wireless connectivity for their coming ereader, comparable to Kindle’s relationship with Sprint. Since AT&T’s network is compatible with cellular carriers and devices in other countries,” Lunch goes on to say, “the company could support Plastic Logic’s European launch as well as their American initiative.”

We’ve written extensively about this much anticipated device, now scheduled for release in 2010. Here’s a thumbnail:

Driven by the same E-Ink technology that powers Sony’s eReader and Amazon’s Kindle, Mountain View California’s Plastic Logic will soon release a large-screen reader designed to carry your daily newspaper, according to Eric A. Taub in the New York Times. The screen will be twice the size of the eReader and Kindle and just about the same weight but two thirds thinner.

With news that Barnes & Noble will be working with Plastic Logic and Rupert Murdoch has been flirting with it, the device is being invested with almost messianic powers. There’s only one problem.

WE DON’T KNOW WHAT IT’S CALLED!

Maybe it won’t be called anything, just “I’m reading War and Peace on my Plastic Logic.” Or maybe their name for it is the best kept secret since Operation Overlord. No one has a clue, and we haven’t heard a rumor. Therefore we’re inviting readers and bloggers to name the Plastic Logic Whatsis. We’ll post any that are fit to print.

Forget about “Kindle Killer”, though. We have dibs on that one.
