I sure hope that price would actually turn out to be lower when it gets released in the US. If it gets too expensive, then... I don't know yet... I  read  that Samsung would be announcing 4G Windows Phone devices by February this year. Unless Apple announces a 4G iPhone this month then that would be something to seriously consider. However,  news  has it that Apple's targeting 4G in 2012 instead. AT&T or Verizon, it doesn't matter, for as long as its 4G LTE... Olympus PEN E-PL2 , which is a compact system, is already out. Priced at $600 with a kit lens, it's got to be worth the experience as I venture into micro four-thirds. If the NOOKColor upgrade gets de...

Electronic Book Readers in Libraries

An electronic book reader (e-reader ) allows you to store a number of books you can carry around with you and read in your own convenience, at home or on the go. The beauty of the technology is that 10, 15 or even hundreds of books can be easily carried in one thin, lightweight device. Now think about a library where you can borrow an e-reader or where you can bring your own to borrow books. If such a library exists, it can be available as an online service and you can also drop by for a real "visit to the library" experience. The library itself doesn't need a big building really. All they really need are some tables for those who want to read their e-books in the comfort of a library-like environment.
