    "The iPad, the much-anticipated Apple tablet computer announced today, is not going to revolutionize the display industry. It doesn't sport a bright OLED display; it isn't wearing the latest Pixel Qi technology that combines normal transmissive LCD technology with a black-and-white reflective version for easy viewing in bright sunlight."

    Apple has a knack for spotting problems we didn't know we had. It can leave us wondering how we survived without vast libraries of music and TV shows in our pockets or the comfort of knowing "there's an app for that." Now, speculation is growing that in two weeks Apple will unveil a tablet-style touch-screen computer that is bigger than an iPhone but smaller than a standard laptop. If indeed that is Apple's next move -- the company won't comment -- it would have to show us why we ought to pay for yet another Internet-connected screen, on top of the TVs, computers and smart phones we already have.

  • The future for e-paper is away from e-readers. It’s more for multi-purpose devices, for outdoor advertisement, for netbooks and all sorts of new and interesting technology. Right now e-readers are the hot item, but in the future, once books have finally moved on from analogue to digital, e-paper will need to expand and adapt to multi-purpose devices. And Qualcomm thinks it has the key- it’s full color, low power, fast and versatile Mirasol display technology.

    " Microsoft CEO Steve Balmer tonight demoed some of the first Slate PC tablets running Windows 7 at his press day keynote at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show. In addition to an Archos tablet that has already been shown, Balmer unveiled a prototype of HP's upcoming Slate PC, which remained unnamed, showing, ironically, Amazon's Kindle application, positioning the tablet as a competitor to Amazon's own E-Ink Kindle device.

Flip Through Pages with Innovative E-Book Reader Concept LIBRARY | Tuvie - Industrial D... - 0 views

  • E-book reading devices are not a great achievement nowadays, but how many of them can really give you the feeling of reading a traditional book? The innovative LIBRARY e-book reader concept effectively meets the issue with its mechanical rollers along with lively page flipping animation on the screen that gives readers the feel of flipping through pages with their thumbs. The multi-touch display allows the readers to underline the book’s content with their fingers and can make bookmarks with simple gestures. The edge of the device will show the bookmarks that can be found easily when the book is open and are visible even when the user closes the book. To access the entire e-book collection, the users have to open the backside of the book. Moreover, the device features a ‘keyboard’ mode to search for book titles which can be enabled by turning the device to 90 degrees.
