Amazon Kindle Fire

  Amazon finally unveiled their answer to the Ipad craze, officially demonstrating their new tablet, called the Amazon Kindle Fire. Here are our first impressions and a proper review of the device. Is it a real Ipad killer? First of all the answer is: No. Even though the the price is way below what the Ipad currently costs, the type of functionality the Kindle Fire delivers is not as sophisticated as the the Ipad. It’s a 7-inch screen with a highly modified Android system running beneath it, up to the point where you… Read the full review

Amazon Kindle

  The Kindle is now available for a cheaper price and in different colour options. Click here for all specifications. Things have not changed much though, although theKindle 3 now boosts 50% better resolution and comes in shiny graphitecolour for everyone who is not crazy about the old white.The Kindle 1 has already been a big success for the company, being a first mover product and thus collecting lots of profit. So, how does the Kindle 3 review compare to the first model and what are the actual improvements? The… Read the full review

Amazon Kindle Touch

    Together with the Amazon Kindle Fire , Amazon also unveiled the touch version of the Kindle, called simply the Amazon Kindle Touch. At an attractive price point (check here for the latest price), the Kindle touch comes with everything the “normal” Kindle E-Reader offers, but adds the benefit of a touchscreen. We say “benefit”, but playing around the with the device shows that the Kindle keyboard is actually not something we ever thought was in the way, quite the opposite. Now, with only one button left, many… Read the full review

Viewsonic G-tablet

. The Viewsonic G-Tablet is again not a pure E-Reader but more an allrounder, more comparable to the Ipad than it is to the Kindle. The first thing that is remarkable about this device is that it features an incredibly fast Android system, which makes playing around with it even smoother that on an IPad in our opinion. The Screen itself is crystal clear and has a lot of contrast, which of course drains the battery faster than in a Kindle (calculate with approx. 7 hours here vs. 4 weeks with the Kindle at moderate… Read the full review

Amazon Kindle (Ad supported)

. Amazon announced a Kindle version which will be ad supported and offered at a lower price point, showing ads of companies like Visa or Buick on the Home screen and when the screen saver is turned on.The Hardware itself will be unchanged, however since the ads will be likely to alter the user experience we are devoting a separate post for this to gather your comments and opinions. The Kindle E-Reader is still one of the best dedicated E-Readers out there, so it goes without saying that it is a smart move to lower the… Read the full review

Velocity Micro Cruz Reader

  Velocity is a fairly new player in the E-Reader game and has come out with a very nice to look at, Android based E-Reader with a wealth of functions which are supposed to dwarf the Kindle series. With full support from the Borders book shop this E-Reader provides you with a colour, drag and drop book store to surf through and boosts a full colour user menu, which makes choosing a book a breeze. The only thing which we thought was negative was the somewhat small screen, which might push you towards the Kindle DX again…. Read the full review

Dell Streak 7 4G

  . The Dell Streak is the new tablet from Dell and it runs on Android 2.2, which is a slightly older version the one used for example in the Motorola XOOM. The main difference here is the size, with the Dell being a bit smaller and more compact than the Motorola, but with a beautyful user interface and everything needed to place it right there in the top of currently available Android tablets. What follows is of course the Dell service, which is reknown among computer users around the world, especially business users. What… Read the full review
