All of a sudden ASUS has 2 e-readers which look like they can pack some serious punches. Starting off with the DR-950, it includes a 9-inch 1024 x 768 pixel touchscreen with 16 levels of gray, text-to-speech in 26 languages, a web browser that can switch between landscape and portrait modes, built-in RSS reader, and an expandable built-in dictionary with real-time translation. The 222 x 161 x 9-mm / 370-gram e-reader also packs in Wi-FI and HSPA (WiMAx is optional), 3.5 mm headphone jack, 4GB of internal memory and SD card expansion. Supported formats include: PDF, TXT, Audible, MP3, and unprotected ePub.
As for the 6-inch OLED DR-570, it has that amazing 122 hours of battery life, Wi-Fi, 0.03 second page turns (making it 23 times faster than the Kindle’s), 124 x 170 x 8.8-mm / 200-g size, 4GB onboard storage with SDHC card expansion, 512MB of SDRAM, and 1,530mAh battery. Text-to-speech and built-in web browser, RSS reader, support for ePub, PDF, txt, MP3, MP4, and AVI content formats, audio/video/Flash player, as well as a possibility for online video streaming from Amazon. As for the 6-inch screen, there is some doubt that it could actually be a smaller 5.7 inches, but that’s not confirmed yet.
Not too shabby ASUS, not too shabby. Now, where’s the content partners for these things?
An impressive entry from ASUS into the e-reader market, the DR-570 boasts a 6-inch OLED screen and a claimed 122 hours of juice. No extra details except it’s coming out at the “end of the year”. From the looks of it though, it won’t be cheap, contrary to ASUS’s usual pricing schemes. [Via 
Of all of the terrible things in the gadget world, one of the most disgraceful is the stylus. I mean, come on, what would you be more comfortable with? Your finger or a plastic toothpick? Either way, HTC decided that you can buy a stylus for your gigantic 4.3-inch capacitive HD2, but they won’t tell you where you’ll put it, because there is no way to store the pen without possibly losing it. Despite having numerous delays, one British retailer has it available for shipment at the price of 17 quid (about $28 United States American Dollars).
