Do you recall the lawsuit filed by Spring Deisgn? Actually, a better question would be whether you know that the company exists.It’s been so long since Spring Design were in the news that I’m going to have to write a fair amount of background.

Amazon K2, Sharper Image Literati show up in after Christmas clearance sales
December 28th, 2010 · 6 Comments · hardware news
I came across a couple after Christmas sales today. I think one is worth getting, but not the other. Amazon are once again selling the refurbished K2. The current list price is $110. It comes with the standard 1 year warranty and I’m expecting them to sell out fast. Amazon Best Buy have put the [...]

Kobo, Borders had server problems over Christmas
December 28th, 2010 · No Comments · ebookstore news
Apparently B&N weren’t the only one who forgot to plan ahead. Yesterday, a reader tipped me to the server issues that Borders had had over Christmas. This reader was still having trouble 2 days later, sadly.
New Rockchip CPUs demonstrated and explained (video)
December 28th, 2010 · No Comments · hardware news
Charbax of ARMDevices.net spent a few minutes with Rockchip the other day and they showed him the full abilities of the RH2818 and RK29 CPUS. You’d have to be pretty geeky to know who this company is, and they’re one that the gadget blogs really need to keep an eye on. They might not have [...]
Amazon are looking to get the Kindle app on Android tablets
December 28th, 2010 · Comments Off · hardware news
A few weeks ago the Cruz T301 tablet showed up on Amazon with a dual core CPU, 7″ capacitive touch screen, and sporting the Kindle Android app. That last detail was something of a surprise, but apparently Velocity Micro had been in discussions with Amazon for several months. This wasn’t just a spur of the [...]
Dell Looking Glass tablet clears FCC
December 28th, 2010 · No Comments · fcc, hardware news
A new gadget from Dell showed up on the FCC website yesterday. No one knows at the moment what this device actually is (yet), but I would bet that you’re looking at the back of Dell’s new 7″ Android tablet. But we do know that it has Wifi, Bluetooth, and an SD card slot. Also [...]
Sony Reader iOS, Android apps delayed until January
December 27th, 2010 · No Comments · software news
As of last night I thought they’d get the apps out in time. Looks like I was wrong. Update: The word on Twitter is that Sony are waiting on Apple approval for the iPhone app. It’s certainly possible. via Sony Ebookstore

NookStudy gets a useless feature – PDF printing
December 27th, 2010 · No Comments · software news
As a result of my last laptop dying I’ve spent the past week installing all my preferred apps. I just now installed Nookstudy and I discovered a new feature. B&N have included a printer driver that makes PDFs. How dumb is that? I thought at first that it would make Epub and I was very [...]
Kobo reports best Christmas season ever
December 27th, 2010 · 3 Comments · ebookstore news
Of course, they didn’t have a Christmas season last year, but that’s beside the point. Earlier today I was snide about Hanvon’s announcement that they’d achieved 1 million users. Look at the following Kobo announcement and you’ll understand why. From the press release: Kobo, the only pure-play global eReading service built on an open platform, [...]
