This one is funny ;-)

The BusinessWeek article "Building the Perfect Laptop" occurs shortly before the ThinkPad X300 is supposed to be announced.

After months of rumors an Apple subnotebook is expected to be announced in January next year. This is according to a CNBC broadcast by Jim Goldman. I am curious about the specs and I could imagine that this might become my first Mac computer.

It seems that finally the long-rumoured Kindle from Amazon is coming. Supposedly this is planned to make a big splash.

The Cybook Gen 3 is now available from Bookeen's online shop. It has a nice form factor - it is the size of a paperback but thinner and weighs less. It is price is a bit more: €350.

I really like this gadget. Lets see whether it will be under the Christmas tree.

Bookeen - Cybook ePaper - the eBook reading device

There are several recent announcements or news of upcoming e-book readers. It seems to me that they are now ready for primetime.

Why can Outlook / ActiveSync / PocketPC not handle categories for notes just the same way as for calendar and contact entries?

iRex Technologies sent out their notifications that finally their iLiad e-reader is on sale. Their online shop is at http://www.irexshop.com.

I believe that the e-paper technology will give this kind of gadgets (e-reader, PDA) a complete new breath. Worth to watch. The company belongs to Philips.
