The title sounds like this thing is on drugs. Well, the analogy may not be so far fetched. The Eken M001, which has been renamed from its previous calling of Orphan Eb07, is a fairly powerful (600MHz ARM chip) 7-inch, Android-using e-book reader with nice, sleek styling and the all-too-familiar sterile white.
Oh, and apparently it goes for $100 USD.
The device utilizes Android 1.6 (and there hasn't been much word on whether or not it is upgradeable),has a resistive touchscreen, full WiFi and Internet support (such as Skype and Chinese QQ and Chrome Lite). It's hard to find at the moment, though.
There is a video showing you it's operation.

Check out this office space that you can give to your employees for a mere $1800 USD. Yeah, only if you're a boss from hell who works his employees behind the crack of a lash! It is easy to understand the need for space savings - economy in any facet is something worth considering. You might be thinking: This is an office for home, duh! I challenge you: who in their right mind would buy something like this to work at home? And that's my (not so solid) rationale for why only some demon boss would implement it.
The opinions in this blog post may seem strong, they may even sound like they are coming from some rabid, cynical claustrophobic, but that aluminum coffin office is something right out of a parody comic.
Also, see a picture of a seat with storage. At first, this blogger thought it
The people over at Engadget were lucky enough to get their hands on a new web browser for Android, the Skyfire 2.0 beta. This browser definitely looks impressive, not only does it seem to out perform the standard Chrome lite browser than Android comes with but it even looks to trump the Opera Mini 5 beta browser. Watch the video after the jump to see how well it performs.
I can't say that i have any problems with using Chrome Lite, to date its the best mobile browser i have ever used, but i am certainly going to jump ship to Skyfire once it becomes widely available for download.

The new-ish arrival of the Ainol V8000HDW player, which is a 6-inch horse with a screen resolution of 800x480, actually boasts some really quite great video playback capability. The player uses the latest Sochip SC9800 chip, one of the big boys, so you can expect high quality HD video playback. Right, well enough introduction, let's get down to specifics, shall we? The first thing you should know is that it is not a touch screen.

Microsoft have officially killed the Courier project, i really was looking forwarded to seeing this become a reality, but it seems that in the end the Courier was just a good idea and will stay in the form of an idea.
Don't know what Courier was to be then check this Engadget Article.

It seems that already, just days following the hugely hyped iPhone 4G leak which no doubt has been the worm crawling through Steve Jobs' apple and unceremoniously carving out tunnels of opportunity, that an imitation iClone... iPhone* 4G has surfaced and is receiving publicity to help it keep afloat the turbulent waves of turmoil that seem to soak everything related to that original leak.
A stopgap measure, perhaps for those of you who can't wait for the iPhone to actually release? No doubt those committed to Apple products (as so many desperately are) won't stand for this kind of opportunity-driven debauchery!
But those of us who might not hold ourselves to such an a strict and pointed moral compass might actually see this product as something a) humourous, b) useful, c)
Doesn't that think up there just look pretty sleek? The colour quality isn't great, but what is really to be expected? Since something similar to Moore's law operates, I'm sure, in any technology field, we'd best better wait if we're not satisfied yet, but this Fujitsu prototype colour e-book reader simply is a cut above the rest, at the moment.
It's only a prototype though. No word yet on release date (except that the product is expected some time before 2011) or price.
The reader uses Fujitsu's FLEPia colour electronic paper technology in the prototype, with a screen resolution of 1024x768 at an 8-inch footprint. The device is therefore capable of displaying up to 260,000 colours which, though not desperately impressive, is still something to consider. The device also comes pac
Introducing the Ainol V8000HDY. This is a 7-inch player with a screen resolution of 1024x600 and features high-end high definition video decoding capabilities.
The device natively supports H.264 (BP / MP / HP), MPEG-2 (MP), MPEG-4 (SP / ASP) / XviD (SP / AP), VC-1 (SP / MP / AP), WMV9 (SP / MP / AP), MPEG-1, H.263, DivX (3.11/4/5/6), M-JPEG (B) encoding formats and can decode the following file formats: TS, AVI, MP4, MPG, MKV, DAT, VOB, WMV, ASF, PMP, RM, RMVB, MOV, M2V, QT, M2.
There is also support for HDMI 1.3 enabling 480 x 272, 720 x 480, 1024 x 576, 720p and 1080p as a number of different video sizes. It also boasts high write speeds (10mb/s) and high read speeds (15 mb/s) so file transfers should prove expedient.

Lots and lots of babing-out going on these days, what with the tablets and readers and players all gaining popularity, and Teclast is no stranger to babing out their products. Since all good things come to those who wait, you'd better read these specs of the new Teclast K6 E-Book reader first, just so you know what you're getting into (and because something sweet is that much sweeter when you've just finished sucking on a bitter lemon.)
The K6 E-Book Reader by Teclast comes with a 6-inch, 16-grayscale display using E Ink electronic ink technology (so any image will look pretty film-noir.) The supported file formats are TXT, PDF, EPUB, HTML, FB2, PDB, JPG and BMP (the latter 2 as image formats).
Anyway, onwards to the babes!

This little player features Rockchip's high-quality low-power RKnano, so sound quality is expected to be high. This player supports multi-format audio playback but also has integrated the capability to view videos, photos, text, and digital recordings. The supported file formats are MP3, WMA, WAV, APE and FLAC for audio files as well as AVI format for video playback, though resolution is quite severely limited (as is unsurprising on a device so small) and the player cannot encode.
The screen is a 1.5-inch 128x128 dot matrix. A nice touch is the silver ring around the scroll wheel.
