In a move I think Amazon needs to pull Barnes & Noble is doing a never mind the Nook take a look at the Novel. We were kidding about that eInk junk… Tablets for eBooks! Who knew? These are going to come pre-packaged with the Barnes & Nobles eReader for Android app I would guess.
Oh and I saw this recently over at Apple Insider about Apple rejecting OLED screens that messed up Google’s Nexus One. Seems that even though Samsung pumped the color on their OLED screens they could not hide the junky screen artifacting. I thought that was interesting and obviously the reason anyone looking to support eBook reading is staying away from OLED technology. Which is why the new iPhone will be a Hi-Def version of it’s current screen.
The Intentional iPad Revolution is now in full swing…
From: CNET ~ As iPad goes global, the birth of a new market?
The iPad, which beat industry expectations by selling 1 million tablets in the first month of sales in the U.S., will be released Friday in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK.
The international rollout will continue in July with iPads planned to be released in Austria, Belgium, Hong Kong, Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand and Singapore.
Apple won’t release sales expectations in international markets, but market researcher IDC forecasts that the company will ship 6 million iPads by the end of the year.
No, not market… How about just the evolution of a new computer format for content viewing? How about that? You know, like the iPod/iPod Touch was a new format for music and eventually videos?

I’m not happy to hear this. My mom was so excited she got one for Christmas for $99. I told her to return it but she won’t. She plans to bring it to me next month to tell her how to work it.
