The above is a video of an upcoming Gemei 7-inch e-reader. While specs for the thing are as yet largely unknown, but it does look like this could be running Android OS thanks to a few snaps at iMP3. It is unknown what chip the device will be powered by, whether a Rockchip or Chinachip or another variant capable of running the Android OS. Either way, in the video the PDF scrolling looks pretty smooth and snappy, and if this device does run on Android it will offer a lot more functionality than simply reading PDFs. And yes, the device currently has no shell - it is still in testing phases, no doubt.

The (very blurry, unfortunately) video above shows the Ainol V6000HDT reading PDF files on a beta version of new firmware.

Expect a firmware release in the near future.
The Ainol V6000HDT is famed for its Samsung LTPS screen which, at 4.8-inches in diametre, is said to boast extremely good viewing angles.

For this you need these files unzipping and the 'platform' folder needs to be copied straight to the root directory. Easy.
The applications
It's recommended a new folder is created on the player's hard drive for ease of navigation for both the player and you. So in the root folder we'll need another new folder called “Applications”.
Now that's done, let's take a look at what's on offer.
