IFA-Berlin is still in full wing today and the videos are still coming.
Sidenote: There was also a Boox 60S video. I added it to the post announcing the Bebook Club.
The first video shows the Elonex 500EB. The Elonex rep holding it really knows what he’s doing. I learned a number of things from this [...]

Charbax followed up the press conference video with some hands on time with the display samples.
I’m really impressed with the design on these e-readers. According to my sources, they were designed by Foxconn. They’re a big change from the previous Pocketbook models.

Chippy over at Carrypad just posted an unboxing video for Smart Devices’ newest tablet, the T7. Like the R7, it has a 7″ 800 x 600 resistive touchscreen, WiFi, SDHC card slot, and runs Android 2.1. No GPS or Bluetooth, though. But it does come with Android Market and Google apps.
Dell Streak reviewed (as an e-reader)
August 26th, 2010 · 5 Comments · hardware reviews
I found a link on Twitter to a review of the Streak, Dell’s 4.8″ Android tablet. The Streak is more of a smartphone than a tablet so I wasn’t planning to cover it in depth.
This reviewer has made a number of interesting remarks on screen size and usability. Yes, it’s only his opinion, but I [...]

At the Kindle forums, the question of whether or not a WiFi-only Kindle would be all that is needed was raised quite often this weekend, including by those who don’t seem to have a WiFi setup at home at this point.
