Viewsonic Viewpad announced – 7″, Android v2.2, £350
August 31st, 2010 · 2 Comments · hardware news
Well this is disappointing. Do you recall the OlivePad I showed you a month back? Viewsonic took the Olive Pad and slapped their own label on it.

August 30th, 2010 · No Comments · software news
MediaQuake just announced that they’ve release a new version of their app for Android. BuzzVoice is a RSS feed reader with a feature that sets it apart: text-to-speech. Do you know the feature I wish it had? I’d like to be able to transfer my entire set of RSS feeds (from Google Reader, perhaps). That [...]

Sharp announced a new reading app for Andriod – millmo for SH for SH
August 30th, 2010 · 1 Comment · software news
Sharp announced this new app on their home page, but I’ll be honest with you. I’m not sure what it does. It appears to be a multipurpose book, video, and audio player, and it runs on Android v1.6. I wonder if it might support Sharp’s XMDF format. That would make sense. This is one of [...]

Kobo opens NYC office
August 30th, 2010 · No Comments · ebookstore news
From the Kobo blog: New York, Meet Kobo… With Kobo and US publishers, it’s been a long-distance relationship. Lots of planes, a river of email, plenty of phone and Skype.
