At Digital Publishing Fair in Tokyo, Chinese developers have submitted a prototype of its reader, which is very similar to Kindle 2. However, Chinese have stated that “these two devices have nothing in common”.
But judge yourself. 6-inch screen and almost the same appearance certainly suggest that there were no borrowings. The main differences between the gadgets are a form of buttons, and the location of the logo.
But the Chinese model has another important difference. Judging by the use of SIM cards for connecting to wireless networks, the gadget will support GSM connections. For countries where there is no significant 3G coverage, it’s quite useful.
The price of the Chinese reader will be $210.
Although the format of the broadcast HD radio has been found a few years ago, its receivers were only in cars and in the form of stationary gadgets for your home or office. It seems that this problem has been solved.
Recently customers in the United States could buy portable radios Insignia NS-HD01, which could work with HD Radio.
The size of the gadget is 7,8 x5, 2×1, 6 cm, which is not too small for the portable player, but for the first gadget of its kind these parameters are quite well. Insignia is also equipped with 0,5-inch (3.81 cm) LCD screen for displaying information about the station, song and artist. It has a memory for ten channels of radio and 3.5 mm headphone input.
The gadget is sold only at Best Buy stores for $50.

Long ago designers of Lego were simply developing a toy. These colorful blocks encourage producers of gadgets offering devices in the form of a constructor. Lego produced Lego-player, speakers for iPod, desktop calendars, and other gadgets. Now Lego is preparing to release Lego-calculator.
For many years different calculators are an integral part of our lives. The new Lego-calculator certainly will not impress anyone with its functionality; the secret is its appearance. It will appear in four colors – blue, red, green and black.
This calculator will be on the market in August. Its size will be 14×6,5х2,5 cm. Despite the simplicity and the ability to perform only basic mathematical operations, the price of the gadget will be 27 dollars. Perhaps this is a mandatory fee for the design.
Every day we write about the latest gadgets in the world, but today we would like to draw your attention not on a gadget. We have all heard that often the cost of the gadget does not exceed the value of its production, as the main revenue producers receive the related fee-based services (the sale of music, programs, books, subscriptions, etc.). And to complete the background we have only to recall the system of additional contract mobile operators that allow buying a new phone model for peanuts.
The operator Vodafone UK has announced that will spread netbooks Samsung NC10 with built-in 3G modem in the country. We’d like to point out its main characteristics:
- Diagonal LCD screen 10.2 inches
- Screen resolution 1024×600 points
- Processor Intel Atom
- RAM 1 GB
- Hard Drive 160 GB
So, the operator gives a laptop to its subscribers for free. But for it you have to sign a contract for 25 pounds per month (1GB traffic) or 30 pounds per month (3GB) for 24 months.
If you have a full 3G coverage this is an excellent variant. Let’s hope that this method of propagation of netbooks will be taken by other operators in other countries. I would be happy to have such a contract, and what about you?
Despite the fact that everyone knows the dangers of smoking, many smokers don’t give it up. Those who have not yet decided to give up the tobacco dependence will certainly be interested in mobile phone SB6309, which has a very useful function for them – built-in lighter.

If you are thinking about purchasing a new sale the first 3D-camera in the world.
The operating principle of the device is quite simple – the camera has two lenses, which shoot the same scene from different angles.
However, in order to print the received images you will have to use special paper with a plastic coating, performing the role of the lens, and electronic photos can be viewed on a special 8-inch photo from FujiFilm.
A new phone Dual SIM Buddha Phone is produced specially Buddhists.

Nevertheless, it is equipped with 1.3-megapixel camera, FM-receiver, microSD slot for memory cards, plays media, and supports simultaneous work with two SIM-cards.
One of the advantages of the gadget is its price – in costs only 123 dollars.
One of the key targets of gadgets for me is their reliability. And the most reliable gadgets are usually issued to the army, and only later they are adapted for civilian use. Their price is usually higher, but they are worth it.
