Remember the Pixel QI hybrid LCD-eInk screen that at maximum contrast displays black and white colors only, just like an eInk screen, but is capable of showing moving pictures with little sacrifice in power consumption? If not, you can read more about Pixel QI here. It seems that Notion Ink, the first model which will use this amazing technology will arrive pretty soon and will boost features the iPad only dreams of: 1080p Full HD output and even flash playback in browser, while offering double ...

Some see iPad as a revolutionary product, others see the limitations imposed by Apple but I'm sure Amazon sees it as a threat to Kindle's supremacy, the eReader that's being now challenged by a device that does other things than just reading books and has the iBooks store behind it to support further growth in books segment.Found itself  in this position Amazon bought Touchco, a company that specializes in building cheap touch panes for any size. And it get's better: all screens are multi t...

After so much waiting and rumors hitting the web everyday it's relief to finally write the official article about Apple's tablet called iPad.Apple iPad was one of the names speculated in past months and it's on par with other Apple naming schemes. Let's see what the new slate type tablet has to offer, what we like and what we dislike about it. I won't put too much words into an introduction because it's useless, so let's get directly to specs.Apple iPad technical specifications:9.7 ...

I like daring manufacturers that look always beyond current trends and bring to trade shows amazing prototypes of gadgets that might one day become reality. The same goes for Astri, who presented at CES a prototype of a dual screen eInk reader and touch tablet, but unlike the Entourage eDGe it's a more pocketable hybrid, and is in totally another class compared to the MSI dual screen netbook tablet.[caption id="attachment_1096" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Astri eReader + touch t...

If Apple turns out to have made the best slate type tablet around this could mean not only a high demand for tablet devices (not only Apple) but also a new territory where Apple steps in: eBook sales as a 10 inch tablet will surely be used as a reader device, especially if it will last a full day without recharging.Of course eReaders last a lot more but they display black and white text with no pictures, videos or interactivity whatsoever, so a fully capable slim reader like Apple iSlate wil...

Remember the enTourage eDGe dual tablet/eReader hybrid from last week? An interesting piece of engineering which need support from book sellers to reach its high potential. It seems enTourage is on the right track as its eBook store already has deals with McGraw Hill, Oxford University Press and John Wiley & Sons and from today from Blackboard leading e-learning platform used in many US universities.[caption id="attachment_896" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="enTourage eDGe dual...

If you thought the dual screen netbook/tablet MSI prototype was cool wait till I tell you about the enTourage eDGe dualbook: a strange mix between a touch screen tablet and an eReader glued together like siamese twins. There's two devices inside the enTourage eDGe, each one of them with its own advantages and disadvantages as the eReader can't display full color pictures and videos while the netbook isn't suited for long periods of reading.That's why this marvelous concept brought two differ...

If you're sad that Microsoft didn't announce the Curier concept today we have good news for you: MSI has shown at CES a prototype of a dual screen eReader tablet concept that uses the fully fledged Windows 7, no small unknown Linux distribution here.  Even if MSI presented this concept as a dual screen eReader the truth is that it's more like a dual screen netbook where the keyboard was replaced with the second screen.Hardware is provided by Intel in from of an Atom Z processor, so expect g...

I don't especially like products that want to be many things at the same time, but sometimes something new comes up that really deserves attention. One of those products is the Sungale Cyberus Info Tablet, a hybrid device that wants to be an eReader, a PMP and touch tablet at the same time. From the specs we see something pretty consistent: 7 inch 800 x 480 pixels scree, WiFi, and applications like Browser, Youtube viewer, Internet Radio streaming, Picasa, Gmail alerts, calendar, clock, alarm, n...
