Spring Design releases more details on the Alex

February 5th, 2010 by Nate Hoffelder · 1 Comment · hardware news

This has probably been up for a few days, but I think I’m the first to notice. The product page for the Alex is up on the Spring Design website. Based on what I I’ve read, I’d say that the Alex probably has a better developed interface than the Nook. You can certainly do more with the touchscreen. Also, the Alex will have access to the Android Market. That could turn the Alex into a real Andriod tablet, not just an ebook reader.

Hardware specs:

  • 6″ E-ink screen, 600×800
  • 3.5″ LCD screen, 480×320
  • 256MB RAM

  • weight 11Oz
