DT 375 news

If you own one, drop by Andy’s site.  He has added more applications including one that I really wanted (Thanks Andy!).  I love playing Mahjong and he’s added it to what is already a great software repertoire.  In addition to new games, there are some really useful utilities and an email client.  Andy also has Ereader, Mobipocket, MS reader, and uBook available.

Asus Eee PC updates

I read today that Asus plans to have Eee PCs pre-installed with Genuine Microsoft Windows by end of this year.  The announcement goes on to say, “The ASUS Eee PC defines a new category of computing device that offers an excellent Internet experience on-the-go for work, learn and play. With the addition of Microsoft Windows, the Eee PC can now also accommodate educational and corporate requirements.”  I’m sure this can only drive up the cost of the device, that’s already suffering from price creep.  Still, if you are reluctant to give Linux a try, this might be good news.  I also noticed that an 8Gb model has been added to the site.  Another interesting thing is that I was looking at unboxing photos and the box shows a choice of colors.  Included, was pink, light blue, black, and light green.  I wonder if these will be available here in the U.S.  I got the link from Eeeuser.

Cybook 3 Getting Closer

Via Mobileread and Bookeen’s blog:  There’s a picture of the box that the Cybook 3 will come in.  While I was like hmm—so?  It does indicated that the reader can’t be too far from availability.  After the Kindle no show, it’s good to know that some things seem to be on track.
