This is just a brief reminder for those who are following TDR via RSS. About a month ago I stopped doing the daily links posts and instead started a second RSS feed. I had decided to use the main feed for more original work but didn’t want to drop the links entirely.
If you’ve visited the TDR website then you probably have seen the new feed as a widget on the far right.
If you regularly follow TDR for the ebook news then you’ll probably want to add this feed. Here is the URL:
Pocket-lint stopped by the booth today and snapped some photos of 6 of the new gadgets. Pocket-lint didn’t get much detail in the way of specs, but they do know that the new line will retail from £99 to £159. The £159 is for a 10.1 Android tablet. The keyboard/case is an extra £39. The 7″ Android tablet in the photo is £99, and its case costs £29.
After the 2 larger tablets we have2 of what look like 5″ devices. The really neat part is that one device is based on the same hardware as Copia’s new 5″ e-reader (that is supposed to be out eventually). There’s also a Netronix clone with a new case and a 7″ device that I think might be the 710EB. [Read more →]

The ebook Ninjas have uploaded the next episode of their weekly podcast. In this week’s episode, Joshua, Toby, and Chris speculate on the future of eBook devices.
Baidu Inc., operator of China’s most used website, started an e-book service today and added 500 applications to its website to diversify beyond Internet search.
Readers will be able to read and store purchased electronic books on the website, Chief Executive Officer Robin Li said at a conference in Beijing today. Baidu is offering applications by developers including PopCap Games Inc., maker of hit mobile games such as “Peggle” and “Bejeweled2,” the company said today.
This video was shot at Stanford University during a guest lecture by Carl Taussig, the Director of the Information Surfaces Lab at Hewlett-Packard.
The complete movie is about 80 minutes long. He has an actual demo unit with him, and you can see it at about 18:45. But you really should watch the whole thing. It’s worth it.
The videos are in Ukrainian (or so I’ve been told), so I’m not sure what they’re saying. But I can tell you that there are at least 2 e-readers in the video; one is the PB 901 (it has the colorful buttons up the side of the screen) and the other might be the PB902 or PB903 (they look the same).
These are not hands on videos; they’re from a news broadcast. [Read more →]
