Among many hi tech gadgets, the hottest trend of buying electronic gift set is a portable reader in 2010. This is a wireless reading device that can read ebooks any time any where. Right now, there are more and more players coming into these markets for e.g Samsung to compete with the innovator leaders like Amazon , Sony and Barnes. The fierce battle among these strong players as well as new entry players like Samsung can be seen during the recent Las Vegas CES Show in Jan 2010. All are trying to compete to fight for a market share. To consumers like you and me, there will be more advantages than disadvantages for a spoilt of wider choices, better pricing and product features selection. However, buying a portable reader is not as simple as buying a piece of electronic device. You need to consider various aspects before committing to your desired model.
Here are the essential pointers on choosing the right portable Ebook reader of your choice.
1. Choose the portable reader with appropriate display size. A rule of thumb is must be at least 6″inch wide. Often, it is too small a display that will make your reading experience get worse after some time.
2. You can often find good deals online and get your desired portable ebook reader.
3. Portable Reader will imply the need for wireless 3G technology. With 3G, you can just read freely any time any where.
4. You may want to get the portable reader with a much larger capacity to store as many Ebooks as possible.
5. It should also support the largest assortment of compatible formats for Ebooks, newspapers, magazines, Blogs and articles. A portable book reader which does not support a wide of data formats and e-media types will not be in great demand.
6. Advanced text to speech capabilities will enable some portable ebook readers to quantum leap others.
7. Thin profile portable reader will be getting more and more popular. Its weight is also another important consideration.
8. You may need a long battery lifespan for your portable reader for continual usage without main powers. Typically, the portable reader should at least support 4-5 days of continual usage.
9. Portable Readers which can support a wider choice of fanciful accessories can allow the owner to mix and match at different times. This creates fun in owning such portable reader apart of just using it to read Ebooks.
It is definitely no doubt to say the Latest Kindle Reader being the most popular portable Ebook reader with several hundreds of thousands users. If cost is not a critical factor, i will recommend Kindle DX with 9.7″ display size and extra features like rotational display.
You can certainly join the ever growing list of happy users for the Latest Kindle Reader. The user experience is simply awesome.

Virgin’s mock-up spaceship Galactica and other futuristic gadgets were unveiled at a technology convention in New York. The real space ships are being built and will be brought out in 2007/8 but in the meantime the festival exhibited innovative technologies, gadgets, and gizmos. Japanese company Kokoro’s robot is as life like as possible and it can talk in English, Chinese, and Korean. “Now its purpose is for receptionist or some commentators. In future I want to use the robot in the house or in the human life and in the school and any other purpose,” said Mita Takeshi. Another robot on display was a Korean Einstein humanoid robot in a space suit that drew people with its dance moves. www.itnsource.com Reuters 15771/06

I love kseigal's idea about the bed! I want to make love in a bed like that! 8^)
We are seeing a lot of integration now–cellphones with cameras and GPS, GPSs with MP3 players, etc. I think we'll see a lot more of that. TVs, computers, media players, GPSs, cellphones, internet terminals, etc. etc. will all come together into general 'electronic devices'. They'll probably come up with some good name for them, like iGizmo.
Notice how small cellphones and MP3s have gotten in just the last few years. It's just a matter of time before we're wearing them on the ear like a bluetooth earpiece, and then -inside- the ear like a hearing aid. These could also have GPS and guide you to your destination with voice commands. ("Now turn left up there by the gas station. It's the fourth house on the left, with the birch tree. Watch out for that kid on the bike!")
I have seen 'glasses' that have little TV screens on them. They could be made into real glasses that you wear all the time. You could watch TV on them, or other kinds of media, or use them as computer monitors. They are always with you, always connected to the Internet, integrated with your phone and your GPS and your MP3 player and video camera and. . . well, you get the idea.
We are now only starting to realize remote-control devices. I mean calling your phone and entering codes on the keypad to turn on your heat, record stuff on your TV, thaw something for dinner, warm up your bed, etc. We'll see a lot more of this integrated into the Internet and your personal in-ear phone/media device/Internet terminal.
WiFi will die, and good riddance! It will be replaced by something more universal. Wireless Internet that you can carry with you anywhere. Maybe a satellite-based system that you can use anywhere in the world, like GPS is today.
It's too bad most high school kids have never played a real video game, and don't have any high-tech stuff.
I’d burn that creepy ass Elmo thing, but the rest is cool stuff dude!
All these battery things are driving me nuts. they always seem to “run out” of power at the most inconvenient times. What happened to the old reliable plug in stuff??? grrrr…
lmfao Elmo
You can give anything you want but the deduction for business gifts is limited to $25.00 per person.
While many people do by the new (and expensive) tech items to make themselves 'feel richer', I believe that most people are more like my husband and I … while we can certainly 'afford' the best and newest, we choose to wait, to see what happens next, and when we do buy, we buy what we NEED for our uses. We have 'top of the line' computers that are 'home built' (my husband is a web developer with the proper skills), and are now looking into getting an HDTV … but we want one about 32" and we want to get the least expensive way to get the shows we usually watch … and we'll also have great DVD play, too, of course, even though we have only a 'normal' DVD player … we have many (over 100) DVDs and we won't get any 'HD' (probably Blu-Ray at this point, but it's still early) player until that has 'settled down' and we can see which will be the one that 'survives' longer than a year or two. We do NOT have the fanciest cell phones (we do carry 'pay as you go' phones for emergencies and to tell time), and we don't own a car and won't own a car because we live in the city, and we don't want to 'pollute' the world any more than is absolutely necessary. As long as we're HAPPY then we'll continue to make our purchases according to our own schedule, and not to the 'schedules' many companies use to keep people BUYING when what they've got is 'good enough' for at least 2-5 years more.
OLOLOLL ELMO IS DYING
Hi…those men can be difficult to buy for, huh? My husband is one of them too. I would recommend buying him a gift card for one of his favorite stores. You could then buy him a nice Christmas card and right a sweet message to let him know how much you love him and put the gift card in the card. Merry Christmas…early:)

Processing power is out, massive storage is in. Having an in-dorm room media server configured with a terabyte of storage space, 8GB of RAM on a wired gigabit ethernet router is as cool as it gets. Composite video out from your server to your plasma HDTV will rock completely.
that toy was pretty disturbing
elmo….lol what a crack up when my roomate’s elmo starts laughing hysterically in the middle of the night when everybody is sleeping…lihiiihihihi what a stupid laugh too, actually thats whats funny about the hairy red dude..lol
elmo looked like he had a seizure lolz
cool gadget ….. impressive
I agree, however the actual number may even be lower.
I think there are multiple reasons for failure:
- product does not address a "need" that anyone can identify with
- product is too expensive
- product is too complex
- too much competition; profit margin too slim
- developer can't find a mass producer for product, even it's a good one
- developer(s) didn't have enough business savvy
- poor marketing
There's likely other reasons too.
