LG.Philips Announces 16.7-Million Color Electronic Paper, Teases World Again
Oh LG.Philips, you are a cruel cruel mistress. You teased us with your flexible 4,096 A4 electronic paper last year and now you are at it again with a new bendy model of the same 14.3-inch size, now with 16 million colors, 1.280 x 800 pixels and 7,000 hours between charges using a typical battery. You say that the "penetration of the technology would be fast in Korea," but we know what you mean. You mean we will have to settle with just licking it in Vegas, along with the rest of the other always-coming-never-arriving cool technologies. I just hope it tastes better than it looks in the front photo: More »

My Wife's Take After a Week With an eReader
I gave my wife a Sony Reader for Christmas after she'd talked about them for some time (she deemed the Kindle "ugly" btw, which is important as anything else for a gadget that's designed to be looked at for hours on end, I guess). Her verdict on the experience? Good, but there's one thing she's surprised to miss most from real books: More »

Video: How to Use Amazon Kindle
As you follow along our live blog of the Kindle launch event, check out this video demo of Amazon's electronic reading device that's officially rolling out this morning. Here's the full-fledged look at the new reader, straight from the Amazonians. We're digging its mini-size, looking smaller than the advance pics we saw last week. Hey, it's about the size of a paperback book. [Amazon]

Fujitsu Flepia e-Reader Displays 4,096 Colors
Keep ignoring e-paper and e-readers, but as we see more color displays it will slowly take over the world. And Fujitsu just showed off some of their sweet new color e-reader prototypes. These readers feature 8" or 12" displays, boast 4,096-colors and XGA 768 x 1024 resolution...all on top of touch screen capability. The only downside is that you have to wait 10 seconds for images to draw. The battery is lithium polymer and gets up to 50 hours of runtime (though, to be fair, that spec is from an optional 8-color spec). Content is stored on an SD card and the unit features a USB port.
Oh, and there are speakers, too. With all this functionality and a waistline of just 12mm, we think we're in love. [gizmag via gizwatch]
