Pandigital Novel e-reader / handheld hits the FCC

BlaineSnook64 — Fri, 28 May 2010 18:01:00 +0000

Pandigital’s already manage to at least pique our interest with its Android-based Novel e-reader / handheld, and it looks like the device has now reached one more milestone on the road to availability — it’s just turned up at the FCC. As you can see, the particular device undergoing testing is black (not white as the final version will apparently be), and the FCC unfortunately doesn’t give us much of a look of that bright 7-inch LCD in the on position

Spring Design Alex review

Admin — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 11:37:00 +0000

We realize that the e-reader market is about as crowded (not to mention overwhelming) as a Walmart on Black Friday , but ever since the dual-screen Spring Design Alex surfaced and we mistook it as the Barnes & Noble Nook, we’ve been incredibly intrigued by it. Though its 6-inch E-Ink display and 3.5-inch Android LCD form factor may seem like a riff on the Nook, the Alex has quite a few more tricks up its sleeve, including a full Android browser and the ability to extend what appears on the LCD to the E-Ink screen.

Admin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 15:53:00 +0000

Spring Design’s Alex e-reader has certainly had one of the more interesting product launches in recent years and, with an actual release now seemingly imminent , it’s finally turned up in the FCC’s hands. There’s not many surprises left at this point, but the agency has at least treated us to a peek inside the device, and offered us our first look at the device’s user manual.

Acer tables e-reader plans, says market is ‘not that big’

Angel — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 13:42:00 +0000

What’s this we hear? Is it the distant thunder of sanity emanating from Acer’s Taiwanese headquarters? The Taipei Times is reporting this morning Acer chairman Wang Jeng-tang’s announcement that his company will not be releasing an ebook reader “for now.” It was only a month ago that Jeng-tang and his crew were telling the world about the aggressive inroads they were going to make into the Amazon-dominated e-reader market, but it appears some second-guessing has been taking place in those Taipei boardrooms, which has led to the scrapping of the earlier plans
