SHINY VIDEO PREVIEW: Archos 7 media tablet
The other day at a trade show I got some hands-on experience with the Archos 7 media tablet. You can see the results in the video above, but what I really wonder is who the market for these devices is. They’re not easily controllable enough to have a good web experience. The streaming media is good, but if you’re in wi-fi range of your server, then why would you need to stream?

Samsung floats into the netbook party with the NC10
Anyone had enough netbooks yet? No, me either. Samsung have joined the party with the NC10 – it is a netbook, but only just. It looks like it’s targeted more at people who are a bit nervous of the full-on netbook experience, or want a bit more from their netbook…
Samsung R610: 16" Blu-ray multimedia laptop
Given that we were talking about the difference between ‘traditional’ 16:10 displays and “full HD” 16:9 displays just last week, it’s rather convenient that Samsung have decided to announce the R610, a 16:9 Blu-ray multimedia laptop with a 16″ screen. Not the Samsung R610 mobile phone. I hate it when companies do that…

Bookeen CyBook Gen3 – latest epaper reading device
The Bookeen CyBook Gen3 is being described as the thinnet and lightest epaper reading device around. It’s able to store 1000 books, which seems more than enough, but for any exceptionally well-read users, the simple addition of a 2GB memory card allows you to store 10,000, meaning you have a mini-library in your back pocket.
It is able to display PRC, txt, HTML and PDF book formats, and since it copes with JPG, GIF, PNG and MP3 formats as well, it can accurately be described as a rather lightweight multimedia device.
