For some reason eBook readers are more and more popular these days. After the Kindle we’ve seen Sony’s reader, Barnes & Noble’s Nook and Plastic Logic’s QUE. Asus is also working on a few eReaders and it seems that Creative decided to make one of its own. Dubbed the MediaBook, Creative’s eBook reader might be based on the Zii platform and it’s said to come with some very impressive features like a color touchscreen display ready to let you read all the eBooks you want and support for videos and pictures. Although this MediaBook did get leaked there are no leaked pictures yet. And it’s way too early for pricing details and release dates so we’ll all have to wait for Creative to announce the reader until we get too excited about it.

We did tell you that the Nuvifone G60, launched by Garmin Asus a lot later than supposed to, was too expensive than it should be. And it looks like Amazon tends to agree with that. Amazon hasn’t been selling that many G60 units so far and thus it has decided to offer a $200 discount on the G60. The phone is available now for just $100 but would you really buy it? The Droid is in the house and it costs only $199.99 while the Droid Eris is going to be available for $99.99.

We thought that Barnes and Noble’s eBook reader, the Nook, will hit Amazon hard but we were in for quite a surprise. Amazon intends to make sure that both PC and Mac users will be able to buy all the eBooks they want without actually having to order the Kindle. Or the Nook! We heard about PC support for Amazon eBooks earlier this week and now we hear that Amazon has big plans for Mac owners. A Kindle App for Mac is currently being developed but we have no idea when Amazon will release it.

Did you hear the good news folks? Kindle for PC is a new software headed to your future Windows 7 device. That means you won’t have to purchase the Kindle in order to enjoy eBooks titles. And forget about the Nook too! Instead you can save some money and get yourself one of those new netbook-like tablets. Besides Apple and Microsoft other manufacturers will launch tablets which can act very well as eBook readers thanks to this Kindle for PC solution. The software is in beta right now and you can sign up for it already. Barnes & Noble should be really annoyed right now. This Kindle for PC will surely translate into less Nook sales in the foreseeable future.

Those of you who want the Kindle, but don’t want to invest in the device itself will be happy to know that Amazon will be launching a PC app next month. This app will allow PC users to create a Kindle account and send Kindle e-books and periodicals to a PC via a wired or wireless network. It also allows users to read an e-book on a PC while at home, then send that same e-book to a Kindle iPhone app or actual Kindle to pick up where he or she left off.

After whizzing through the FCC last July, it was only a matter of time before the NAM version of E71’s successor made an appearance stateside.  Amazon is now offering the Nokia E72 on a preorder and if you have been waiting for the device to pop up online, you can go ahead and order it for $469.  There is still no word on the actual release date or if there is a benevolent carrier ready to pick it up, but with triband 850/1900/2100MHz 3G network support, which is the frequency AT&T’s 3G operates at, we wouldn’t be surprised if AT&T announced the device in the coming days.  Other features of the E72 include a QWERTY keypad, a 5-megapixel autofocus camera with dual-LED flash, WiFi, GPS, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.

Yes, this means no monthly fees, ever.

It looks like Sony’s PlayStation 3 Slim was the thing Nintendo needed to cut down the price of its popular Wii console by $50. If you want to play motion controlled games you can get the Wii right now or the iPhone 3GS for the same price. The Wii’s new and very official price is $199.99, and although its graphics could be significantly improved, it still offers a better gaming experience than the iPhone or iPod touch when it comes to motion controlled games.

And that’s $100 less than the PS3 Slim! It will be interesting to see if Nintendo can stop the Slim’s popularity. Sony has sold over 1 million Slim consoles in less than three weeks and it’s getting ready to launch the 250GB PS3 Slim version. So what will you choose now folks? The cheaper Wii or the smaller Slim?

The Zune HD has come and it has conquered. Although launched after Apple’s iPod-related media event, the Zune HD quickly became a best seller. It looks like all the major players have run out of Zune HD players for now. At Amazon you’ll have to wait for up to two months to get a 16GB model while a 32GB will be available in up to three weeks. Best Buy has the Zune HD as “backordered” while New Egg has sold out all its available Zune HD. So what do you say Microsoft? How many Zune HD have you sold so far? Did the fact that the iPod touch 3G lacks a camera increase the Zune HD sales? We’ll know more in the near future when we’ll probably be able to compare actual sales figures for both the Zune HD and the iPod touch 3G.
