It has 800 x 600 resolution, a black and white display, with 2GB of built-in memory. It supports formats like PDF, EPUB, TXT, RTF, FB2, PRC, MOBI, and HTML. There is no word of pricing or availability, but we’ll see if it can stand out in a market that is presently polluted with e-book readers.

Asus Eee PC T91MT in Japan



If you didn’t know, most ebook readers being released feature an e-ink display. This means that instead of something like an LCD display (as found in some laptops) the screen uses real ink making it easier to look at than a backlit display. Of course, without a backlit display it’s a bit hard to read an e-ink display in the dark. Enter the cleverly named Kandle ebook reader clip on light, pictured above.

This little device will clip to the top of just about any ebook reader on the market and give you enough light to do all of your reading. Oh and it’s only $24.95.

Gigabyte offers GSmart phone with Android



Gigabyte is by far not the most recognized brand when it comes to cellphones, in fact, it only makes a few smartphones for Asian countries only, all of which so far have been using Windows Mobile. Now, Gigabyte has introduced a version of its GSmart smartphone which runs on Android, a first for the company. The rest of the specs aren’t that interesting, a smallish 2.8″ screen and no 3G, but at least it only costs around $300 where it’s sold.
