09 Mar 10 Barnes and Noble to carry Samsung E6 e-book reader
A lot of sources have commented that Barnes and Nobile isn’t worried about a little healthy competition as they have agreed to market the Samsung E6 slider e-reader, even though they probably want to sell the Nook.
Granted, I would probably want to buy it as well, but hey, Amazon, makers of the Kindle has a truckload of e-book readers. After all, it is up to the business what it decides to sell or not to sell, but in the end, giving the customers more options wins out against a monopoly. It’s nice when that works out.
Anyway, the Samsung E6 is a sliding e-reader with a six-inch screen, and it will probably have a relatively low price point of $299.

23 Feb 10 Spring Design Alex misses projected release date
The Spring Design Alex was set to make an impression on the e-reader market, and it sort of takes after the Nook. Here’s a little reminder of the Android e-reader’s stats:
The Alex combines the ability to read on a monochrome EPD screen while displaying the dynamic hyperlinked information on the secondary screen in full color. Alex is the first Google Android-based e-book device to provide full Internet
browsing over Wi-Fi or mobile networks such as 3G, EVDO/CDMA and GSM.
At CES, there was word that this product would be out by February 22nd, but it is now the 23rd, and there is no sign of it. Even the website just has that ambiguous “coming soon” on it.
Well, I’m sure it will show up eventually, we’ll be certain to report on it when it does.

Yeah, there is another e-book reader on the market, and this one is from Yinlips. When last we heard from them, it was with the YDP 102 MP3 Player.
Very little is known about this, other than it supports many file formats, has a 20 hour battery life, and has an FM radio. Unfortunately, we don’t know when this will be available.

31 Jan 10 OPPO Enjoy E-Reader
There is a new E-Reader on the market and it comes from OPPO, its name is exactly Enjoy – because most likely you will enjoy your reading sessions better.
As you can’t do much for a design of an E-Reader, they’ve decided to KISS – keep it simple stupid – and add a few buttons on the right and left side, as well as below the screen. The most notable features is the use of Android as the OS, and the good price tag of $300 which doesn’t make it expensive nor cheap, it’s just in the right spot.

25 Jan 10 Acer’s plans for 2010 include e-reader, App Store, netbook, and tablet
Acer has been doing some planning for this year, and they have set their sights high. In the next few months, they intend on launching a black-and-white 6-inch ebook reader. It is slated to be released in Europe, and may or may not make it to the United States.
Acer also intends on launching that Chrome OS netbook sometime in its third quarter, and have high hopes for it. I believe they intend the netbook to account for eight percent of their total sales. Dang!
As for the App Store, that s coming in June to support Android, Windows Mobile, and the Google Chrome Operating systems. These apps would be for free.
As for the tablet, Jim Wong, the president of IT products division, says “we will see what happens”.

We’ve already discovered how Oppo is bringing an Android phone to China, and it would appear that they are also bring an e-reader as well.
The Oppo Enjoy is a 6-inch e-ink reader that also runs on Android. Other than that, this is about all my Source knows. It didn’t even have a price or availability date. That does look like a trackball on the right, doesn’t it?

18 Jan 10 Asus putting out another e-reader with the DR-950
Not content to put out one e-reader with the DR-570, Asus is also planning on giving the world the DR-950.
The Asus DR-950 has a 9-inch screen with 1,024 x 768 resolution, but not in color. Instead, you’ve got 16 levels of gray. It does have a web-browser that works in portrait or landscape modes, a virtual keyboard, as well as handwriting input. Other features include text-to-speech, an RSS reader, a dictionary, real-time translation, 3.5 mm headphone jack, and stereo speakers. It should have 4GB of internal memory and SD Card expasion, as well as support for PDF, TXT, Audible, and MP3 formats.
I’m guessing that we will be seeing this DR-950 sometime this year, but like the DR-570, there is no word on price.

I don’t know where the Asus DR-570 was at CES 2010, but I guess now is the time for this new e-book reader to make the news. Unfortunately, we probably won’t be seeing this device until the end of this year.
And what a wait that will be! According to my sources, it has a 6-inch OLED screen, Flash video playback, WiFi, 3G, and can last 122 hours on one charge. We don’t have any word on any price, but perhaps we should compare it to the Nook.

17 Jan 10 New York Times to offer its content digitally, for a price
According to New York Magazine, the New York Times is intending to charge online readers for its content. I suppose that this makes a world of sense, since all these tablet and e-readers could easily replace traditional newspapers.
Especially since that whole rumor that Apple is launching that iSlate thing on January 27th. I don’t know if print is dead yet, but with NYT offering this paywall system, it may be sooner rather than later before we see all our news in digital form.

11 Dec 09 Packard Bell to enter e-reader game
It seems like there is an abundance of e-readers on the market, and every company seems to have their own personal version. Personally, I believe that whoever has the first cheap color capable one will eventually rule the market better than the Kindle or the Nook.
I suppose it should come as no surprise that Packard Bell wants to enter this e-reader game with their own edition. It doesn’t have a name yet, but my source says that it will have a color screen, as well as movies and music. We should expect it in September 2010.

10 Nov 09 Intel’s Reader is not what you think. It’s better, but comes with a price.
All you need to do is use the reader to take a picture of the book, and it will use its text-scanning and text-to-speech engine to read the words on the page. This will be very helpful for the blind and others with reading-debilitating conditions. This reader will also play MP3s, and will turn your photographed books into MP3s as well.
There is a video of it after the jump for more of its groundbreaking features, but this device will cost you. How much? Try about $1,499.

According to Sungale’s press release, the Cyberus ID700WTA (aka Smart Info Engine) is “the first and only universal portable media device that offers access to real time internet information and applications by automatically linking wirelessly to user’s home routers”.

It has a 7 inch LCD color screen, and online access to news, weather, stocks, maps, as well as Gmail, YouTube, IP Radio, and Picassa. It is also an e-book reader, photo displayer, card reader, and, of course, much, much more. The Sungale Smart Info Engine is available now at major retailers and Amazon for about $279.
