Will Tablets Close the Book on e-Readers?

On June 21, Barnes & Noble cut the price of its nook e-reader to $199 from $259 and introduced a Wi-Fi-only version for $149. Hours later, Amazon cut the price of its Kindle to $189 from $259. In early July, Sony joined the fray by cutting prices for its three e-readers, which now start at $149.99.The Kindle, nook and Sony Reader are all devices that connect to online book stores allowing users to download digital content over a 3G wireless service, Wi-Fi or by downloading from a PC, and feature e-ink screens, which mimic the look of ordinary ink on paper.

Toshiba Libretto W100 Is a Dual-Screen Challenge to the iPad

Toshiba_libretto_2
Although Toshiba calls it a concept PC, it looks very finished and ready for market release. Toshiba claims it will be later this summer, albeit in a limited capacity (the price is reported to be $1,099). As far as specifications go, one thing definitely stands out: dual 7.0-inch multi-touch displays with 1024×600 pixel resolution, together with a virtual keyboard with haptic response.

Castlight- Medical comparison shopping search engine

But there has been no easy way for consumers to shop for the best deal on a colonoscopy or blood test. A start-up financed by prominent venture capitalists and the Cleveland Clinic, Castlight Health, aims to change that by building a search engine for health care prices. Patients using Castlight could search for doctors that offer a service nearby and find out how much they will charge, depending on their insurance coverage.

Kobo - $150 minimal e-reader to be sold at Borders

Kobostack
The Kobo e-reader is the spark that set this post off; at $150, this 6?-screen, 0.1?-thin, half-pound device is among the very cheapest e-readers out there, yet Kobo also runs its own bookstore, which has the usual classics and bestsellers — probably 90% of what gets sold for e-readers. It’s going to be sold at Borders, and with its modest price tag might make for more of a temptation to browsing customers.

Google Chrome OS 'gPad' Design Proposed -- InformationWeek

Well, Steve Jobs has called Google's motto - "we're not evil" utter hogwash, which of course it is. And surely he couldn't expect the iPad to go unimitated. Is he about to be Microsofted yet again? Which would you buy?

Did Apple's Law Firm Confirm The Tablet?

An interesting bit of drama unfolded on the Internet when Gawker Media recently offered $100,000 for pictures and/or information of the unannounced Apple tablet. Predictably, Apple's law firm has struck back, issuing a cease and desist letter to Gawker Media. How much can be assumed by what Apple's lawyers say?

The world doesn't need an Apple tablet, or any other

(This post has caused a big stir) That brings me back to my assertion that iPhone is functional enough, more portable and better connected than could be any 7-inch or 10-inch tablet. Would you buy an iPhone and iPod touch?

Time Inc. Shows Us Their Idea of the Future of Magazines [Video]

It seems that every major magazine publisher has their own idea of how their magazines should look on the upcoming Tablet of Newspaper Salvation, due to be created by Apple (who, by the way, didn’t officially confirm they’re working on any such device). First it was Condé Nast, who’s preparing a digital version of Wired magazine for the Apple Tablet, and now it’s Time Inc., which released a video demonstration of a tabletized Sports Illustrated.
