New eReaders and similar devices

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

It became clear in January 2010 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas as manufacturers try to define “bigger than cell phone” to display on different devices, especially on eReaders or devices that are used to read e-books are found, such as Tablet PCs and netbooks in addition to the ebook reader is dedicated. It appears headed for smaller data and larger e-book readers processing equipment, so that they appear to converge on a route that they will eventually see them together in a mold device. Whether this happens or not is determined on the combined devices is compared to those dedicated to their purpose and how they really want all-in-one devices to prevent the acquisition of ‘equipment. It is impossible to see this issue from the device at CES, which were introduced a few new eReaders tablets with new netbooks and respond to them. Among the new eReaders that have been launched or point in the year 2010 were announced Plastic Logic and Alex That spring designs. At $ 349, Alex performs 1 of the android. 6 Secondary on a 3rd 5-inch LCD touch screen, main screen is one 6-inch readable. Android 1st 6 Cupcake lack of GPS and cellular components of the full version, but it is OK for this application. The 6-inch E Ink display is comparable to the Kindle 2, and Nook Barnes and Noble, and is used for navigation, and voice recordings. If you enjoy music while you read the Alex can have two speakers that you do with the music player, Android. Quebec is much more than these costs but also within walking distance of Alex. It must reach a low price range of $ 649 to $ 799 for 3G Wireless from AT & T. For this you also get 8GB memory and Bluetooth. Quebec also offers what it describes as Que TruVu formatting that appears black on a significant improvement on the text form of Kindle: the presentation of the newspaper USA Today, was presented and on the journal’s web site. Although it looks and behaves like a computer rather than an eBook reader straight, prices in Quebec the same as a good entry-level laptop line is, and should do much to justify the price. According to the magazine “THE ONLY Plastic Logic E-Reader: The New Kid on the Block, he reads the business formats such as PDF, Excel, PowerPoint and Word, you can even have Microsoft Office documents on the screen and it seems that plastic Logic begins when the product they are few, if any, have competitors in the market for commercial eReader (Digital Book Reader). The Skiff Sprint is another new entry, first to market with a specialist in wireless and not a book or a computer hardware company. For 11 hours. 5 “x 9″ x 0 26 “is the largest and thinnest of all e-readers on the market and is also curvy, unbreakable and with ePaper display and comes with 3G and WiFi support. It seems formidable, but its price, but it was announced that repel people. One of the problems that have their own eReaders located under the face today is that competition in the Tablet PC industry. With 7 ” More touchscreens, they can be an e-book reader how to use 10 “- 12″ screen netbooks that are currently selling very well. However, it is unlikely that such a direct effect on those seeking the comforts of small eReaders carried in pockets and purses rather have, but they could offer against strong competition in the sprints, and prices raised in the materials world. EReader In general terms, it seems we have another year to wait for the actual color of the readability and some new entries in the electronic book reader in the world have no branches. Competition this Book Smart including their operating systems to relatively low power, must be weighed, and a lack of ability to use one application of good software. If you want eReader, then a device specially designed for those who are best for you, and if you want a small computer, then a high-end netbook specially designed to be a good software works best. Quite good in which devices such as Smart Books on the market, it is still unclear and will probably remain so until the power problem has been overcome. Maybe 2010 will see a milestone in the development of portable devices, makes a clear distinction between the devices as eReaders dedicated, such as computers, communications equipment or computer equipment. Otherwise, perhaps obscured by 2011 the water when they are today, where we do exactly what the future holds, and that their money is best used.

Top 3 Operating Systems for E-Readers

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010


During 2009, e-readers were operating at maximum efficiency with over 2. 2 million devices being shipped to stores. In 2010, the demand for e-readers is expected to increase by more than 50%. Their operating systems create the necessary base for these popular devices. Many first-class eBook Readers run full operating systems and can function like a computer. Google AndroidIt is not surprising that Google Android tops the list of operating systems for e-readers. The Barnes and Noble ‘Nook’ was the first e-reader to use Google Android. Since that launch, Google Android has been used in various e-readers and that trend is expected to continue into the future. Google Android gives users access to 1,000,000 free, public-domain books digitized by Google. All devices using the Android system can tap into Android apps and vice versa. In addition, Google understands that the real power of the open source Android lies with the Operating System Defaults. Google eBooks will serve as the default on every Android device. The innovative eDGe e-reader, created by Entourage Systems, runs Google Android operating system. The eDGge is a netbook/e-reader combination which offers users the convenience of a Google toolbar on the right screen. Running on Wi-Fi and 3G networks, users can surf the internet, watch videos, or engage in video chat with this device. Spring Design’s ‘Alex’ will also support Android apps. Yet any applications which require internet access will work only with Wi-Fi. With this dual-display e-reader, the 6. 5″ e-ink screen for reading sits above a 3. 5” color LCD. Users can display images and video, view notes, and even browse the web. Expected to be released in 2010, the proposed Netronix, a collaboration between Texas Instruments and a Taiwanese networking specialist, is also an Android-based e-reader. Android e-readers allow portability of books (between Android e-readers) as well as access to Android apps. LinuxThe new Skiff reader is a Linux-based system. The Skiff reader is said to be the largest (11. 5″) and thinnest (0. 25″) with the highest-resolution (UXGA – 1200 x 1600). The Skiff reader is expected to be on sale later in the year. Interested buyers will be able to find it online and at over 1000 Sprint stores in the US. Sony Reader runs the MontaVista Linux Professional Edition operating system. Sony ebook Library is not supported on Linux. Yet when this device is connected, it grants access to its flash memory and memory card slots (as if they were USB Mass Storage Devices). Amazon’s Kindle DX runs Linux-2. 6. 22. 19. Operating system updates are received wirelessly and install automatically during a period in sleep mode in which the wireless is in operation. As it was noted in the article “Amazon Offer Kindle for Sale in Europe – Will they Succeed”, the device is being offered globally on the 3G network with no charges for the wireless connectivity that is used to download eBooks (Digital Book Readers). With its Wacom touchscreen, Illiad runs Linux 2. 4 kernel. Due to its open Linux operating system, Illiad can run third-party applications created for it. The Hanlin eReader v3, one of the first Open Source e-readers, is built on the Linux operating system. China’s Hanvon uses Linux 2. 6 and Cool-er, Pocketbook, and Bookeen also run Linux. WindowsAlthough Windows is slipping in popularity, it will remain a major player in operating system market for many years into the future. Sony PRS-505/SC Digital eBook Reader, with its company software Sony ebook Library, is similar to iTunes and requires Windows. The software will not work on the 64-bit version of Windows XP but does support Windows Vista and Windows 7. Recent announcements point to the use of Windows 7 in new color ‘slate’ e-readers such as Archos or HP. The Taiwanese company, MSI, has also created an e-reader/computer combo which runs Windows 7. E-readers with operational systems, such as the leading Google Android, encourage openness. These innovative devices are ‘cracked’ to allow users to run Android apps as well as download music and access social networks. Yet Fortify Software, the application vulnerability specialist, has issued a warning to corporations about possible security issues with modified e-readers. When a devise is ‘cracked’ or repurposed in this manner, there isn’t any way to check the security of the operating system ‘cracks’ or newly installed programs. For usage outside the corporate world, however, e-readers have few drawbacks. E-reader companies are always trying to improve on features, performance, and design. E-readers have made a tremendous impact on the reading experience – what we read, where we read, and how we read books and newspapers. More and more people are choosing e-readers and their state-of-the art operating systems are helping to drive that demand.

Corporate Business Gifts – Will E-Readers Be The Top Tech Gifts This Christmas?

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

Copyright (c) 2009 Titus Hoskins

E-Readers which are also called digital or electronic readers, lets users wirelessly download books and read them on hand-held devices resembling a glorified etch-a-sketch. That’s a bit of an exaggeration, but these handy little digital readers have become extremely popular; according to a recent Time article, Amazon has already sold 1.7 million of the Kindle E-Reader since it was introduced in 2007.

And according to the same article, the Association of American Publishers states total revenue from digital-book downloads has risen 149% this year, while they estimate e-book readers sales to top 3 million by Dec. 31. Plus, according to Forrester Research around 1 million of these gadgets could be sold this holiday season, and sales in 2010 are projected to double, to 6 million.

“The year 2009 is a breakout year for e-readers,” says Sarah Rotman Epps, an analyst with Forrester Research. “But we’re still in the early stages.”

Those make for very impressive numbers and it could point to E-Readers as “the” hot Christmas gift this Holiday Season; at least where tech gadgets are concerned. Given its well received features and programs, an E-Reader could make for an excellent corporate business gift, especially if you could brand them with your company logos and stream them with your company’s newsletters and RSS feeds.

Then we also have the recent launch of the NOOK from Barnes & Noble which will give the Amazon Kindle some competition. The Nook has a 6-inch paper-like display which uses a 16-level grayscale that can support up to five fonts. You can use it to read PDFs, in addition to over 1 million books, newspapers and magazines available in Barnes & Noble’s eBook store. The Nook is currently priced at around $260.

How is it different from the Kindle: besides the flashy color icons, designer cases and color customizable back panel; the Nook does have some nice features such as a virtual bookmark called Reading Now that lets you pick up where you left off reading on the Nook, and it has Wi-Fi radio which customers can use at 700 Barnes & Noble’s locations and at 600 college stores in 50 states. There’s enough memory for holding 1,500 books (2 GB) and there’s a microSD slot which could give you another 16 GB more.

But this holiday season, gift buyers (corporate or otherwise) will have many more E-Readers to choose from other than the Kindle and the Nook. Where there’s a profit to be made, other companies will follow. Just like when Asustek invented the category of Netbook with its ASUS Eee-PC in 2007, other laptop makers and sellers quickly jumped on the bandwagon and the marketplace was flooded with netbooks or mini-laptops.

This recent trend towards E-Readers will prove no different; take for example Sony, who introduced the first electronic reader way back in 2004, will be introducing three new devices according to the Time’s article. The Sony Reader will have a Pocket Edition ($199), sporting a 5-inch-diagonal screen, Touch Edition ($299) which will be touchscreen-equipped and the Daily Edition ($399), which will feature wireless capability.

Asus is also entering the E-Reader market with a product called the Eee-reader which should be on the market for Christmas. Then there is the Fujitsu FLEPia which is the only commercially available E-Reader which has a color display. It’s only available in Japan and costs around $1,100. Ouch!

For the more modest consumer, the Irex Digital Reader will be hitting U.S. stores this month, October 2009. The DR800 will have an 8.1-in. touchscreen with wireless connectivity and will sell for $90 less than the similarly sized Kindle DX, which will set you back around $489. This is the price at the time of writing, expect those prices to drop as competition heats up.

On the horizon, there are many different versions of the e-reader that will hit the market. There is even a fold up model which will open like a book and another one called the Polymer Vision Readius which is also a phone but it has a flexible screen that folds up around the phone to make it extra portable.

Then we have the looming debut of Apple’s fabled iTablet which could be a game changer in the whole E-Reader arena. It could also be a Kindle or Nook Killer given Apple’s enormous popularity with tech savvy consumers who only want the latest gadget on the market.

One really has to question why all this popularity for the E-Reader, especially since we already have the small portable netbook on the market, which can be easily used for reading books. More specifically, we already have Tablet PCs which could easily fulfill this reading function. Granted they may be slightly larger, but they also offer all the features of a laptop, so why not just convert/use this device as an E-Reader?

Regardless, the E-Reader seems to be gearing up to be a top tech gift this holiday season. The perfect gift for family members, friends and employees alike… especially for the book-reading fanatics in your family or company. E-Readers are also the ideal gifts for those who simply must have the latest and newest tech gadget on the market.
