Why, it was just yesterday that Amazon finally acknowledged the existence of our friendly neighbors to the north, saying “Why not?” before shipping a few Kindles northward. Now Sony is announcing its Reader is also set to take off, but in a very different way. The Reader has always been available in Canada (no pesky [...]
Amazon and Barnes & Noble may be swiping the limelight, but Sony’s clearly playing for keeps with its $399 Reader Daily Edition. The 7-inch e-book reader has just been listed for pre-order over at SonyStyle, and with it will come wireless access (via AT&T) to the company’s own eBookstore. We’re told that the company will [...]
Qualcomm’s Mirasol displays have already found their way into quite a few products, but the company looks to really be branching out into some new territory with its latest prototype: an e-book reader with a full-color, 5.7-inch display. Of course, Qualcomm isn’t planning to sell this one itself, and it isn’t revealing any OEM partners [...]
MSI is on a roll with its Wind Top line of all-in-one machines, the AE2220 being the latest and, for the moment at least, the greatest. Its 21.5-inch screen (curiously .1” smaller than when originally announced) supports multitouch, backed by Windows 7 Home Premium to ensure you’ll never have a completely smudge-free image coming from [...]
Good news for our Canadian brethren! While the realization that you’d been excluded from the International Kindle may have angered you, or frightened you, or engendered feelings of shame or lust, all hope is not lost! We have just got word that Amazon has added your fine nation to the list of countries it will [...]
What can we tell you about the Vizit 10.4-inch touchscreen photo frame that you didn’t know before? It’s not half terrible looking, sure — but it’s still unavailable, still a little pricey at $280 (plus whatever AT&T will end up charging you for data), and still sports 800 x 600 screen resolution. But we do [...]
If you’re looking to pre-order a Nook today you’ll be greeted with a December 18th ship date from Barnes & Noble’s on-line store. However, if you stop by your Barnes & Noble on November 30th, you might find the Android-based dual-screen ereader in stock and ready to take home for $259 plus the usual government [...]
We’re kind of late to this party, but better late than never, right? At the end of last month, German company Evoluce announced its 47-inch multitouch display, touting Full HD (or 1920 x 1080) resolution and “Integrated-Through-Screen-Optics,” which allow it to recognize an unlimited number of simultaneous inputs. The ONE also features haptic feedback and [...]
If you’re like us, you’ve been marking the days off until you could get WowWee’s Cinemin Swivel — or, the pico with attitude, as we like to call it. We’ve been keeping our eyes on it since CES 2009, so we can sympathize. Well, looks like the wait is over — it’s popped up on [...]
There’s something wrong when an advertisement is more memorable than the product. Nevertheless, here we have Toshiba’s Space Chair ad campaign promoting its new 2010 REGZA SV LCD TV series, Toshiba’s first with LED backlight and local dimming. The campaign will later expand to include a second take featuring the Satellite T Series of 11-hour [...]
