    Borders’ Kobo e-reader now comes with $20 gift certificate; iPhone, iPad App now available

    Posted on June 22, 2010 | No Comments
    The wonderful thing about all these e-readers is that so long as you buy one that has honest-to-goodness E-Ink (Kindle, nook, Kobo, etc.) you're basically using the same device. The most important part of an e-reader is the screen, so when all the big guys use the exact same technology, well, you should be just fine. Then it comes down to store quality: does Amazon have the books you want to read or does Barnes & Noble or Borders? That's the most "research" you'll have to conduct. Moving on... in light of the nascent price war between Amazon and Barnes and Noble, Borders would like you to know that its Kobo e-reader now includes a $20 gift card and double Borders Bucks for whenever you drop cash in the store.

    Libretto W100: Toshiba shows double touchscreen tablet (video)

    Posted on June 21, 2010 | No Comments
    What's better than a tablet with one touchscreen? A tablet with two touchscreens. That's at least what Toshiba must have thought when they cooked up the Libretto W100 with its dual 7-inch multi-touch displays (1,024×600 resolution and LED backlighting for both). There's no physical keyboard, but you'll get a virtual one with haptic response.

  • Kobo launches e-reader app for Android

    Kobo launches e-reader app for Android

    Posted on June 18, 2010 | No Comments
    Kobo -- perhaps best known for its e-reader tie-up with Borders -- is bringing its platform and bookstore to Android, beating bigger players like Amazon to the game. If you've already got a Kobo account, you can just log in and get instant access to your already-purchased books, but if you're new, you can buy stuff right from your phone; it supports ePub and counts more than two million titles to its library (some of which are free). Strangely, Kobo is circulating a picture of what appears to be a Nokia 5800 with its Android announcement -- but if you can get past that, the app should be available in the Market right now. Follow the break for the full press release.

    Authentic Moleskine Notebook for the Kindle, it’s so edgy

    Posted on June 16, 2010 | No Comments
    The sense of style for a Mission District hipster can often times be too edgy for the “culturally sheltered mainstream consumer”. As a hipster you will undoubtedly rock a Moleskine notebook in the city, because let’s face it, you’ve got something intelligent to write. Let us take that one step further, and throw a Kindle inside the cover. Can you feel that edginess? It’s an analog-digital hybrid – man that’s so edgy.

    Not to say I told you so, but I told you so. The Skiff newsreader that made waves at last CES is dead, abandoned by News Corp. who bought the e-reader software but not the device from Hearst. The software will probably be used in News Corp’s “Next Issue Media” endeavor that was supposed to [...]

    Let's face facts: today's all about the iPhone. (Yes, we're already there, waiting in line.) Non-iPhone stories will be few and far between. Even the following story has an iPhone connection—it's madness! Right then. Barnes and Noble has a begun a clever little promotion to get you into their stores (and hopefully buying their books): free coffee. Who doesn't like coffee, and free coffee at that?

    This video shows off EliteGroup’s new e-reader with large E ink display, a Marvell CPU, and 3G, Wi-Fi, and WiMax. It looks like a freaking monster – probably a full 8 1/2 x 11 screen. These things are proofs of concept for manufacturers who then sell things like them to OEM customers. I doubt we’ll ever [...]

  • Iota Flex wants to be a MiFi for voice and text

    Iota Flex wants to be a MiFi for voice and text

    Posted on May 27, 2010 | No Comments
    Would you believe us if we told you that that rubber bracelet-looking thing is actually going to have a built-in SIM card and bring voice / text capabilities to Android tablets, e-readers and netbooks via Bluetooth? Yeah, it sounds super crazy, but that's exactly what it'll eventually do. Convinced that 2G capabilities like talking and texting should be easier to add to MIDs, tablets and netbooks, Seattle-based startup Iota has come up with the Flex. It's definitely in the early stages of development, but in essence they see people clipping the bendable device to a bag, pairing it to an Android tablet, e-reader or MID, and then making calls from said devices.

    We caught some time with Iota and the prototype at the Netbook Summit this week and were told that they plan to sell the Flex through retailers for under $100 -- and that would actually include unlimited calling and texting thanks to a partnership with Simple Mobile. Here's where we say we wouldn't hold your breath for this thing to hit the market -- though if they can pull it off, it'll certainty be an interesting solution for adding voice and text to those hoards of incoming Android tablets. After you're done wrapping your brain around this wearable voice and text accessory, check out the hands-on pics and hit the break for a hacked together demo of the dev kit they've been selling.
