The Kno, a Tablet for the College Market
,----[ Quote ]
| The Kno, a dual-screen device aimed at the
| college market, falls in the latter
| category. The tablet/e-reader, which was
| first shown in public on Wednesday at the
| D8 technology conference in Southern
| California, allows students to view
| textbooks on its digital screens much as
| they would appear in their analog
| versions, with text, color images and
| graphics.

| Kno promised to launch a double-screened
| Linux-based e-reader designed for students
| at D8, and the undercover startup didn't
| disappoint -- believe us when we say it
| came out in a big way.

Jumbo dual-screen tablet Kno debuts at D8
,----[ Quote ]
| The Kno is a big device, having two 14.1
| inch (1440 x 900) capacitive touch
| screens. Each screen has its own battery,
| giving the Kno 8-hours of battery life,
| but a hefty weight of 5.5 lbs (I suppose
| all that glass contributes to the weight
| as well). As a point of reference, the
| iPad weighs 1.5 lbs and people complain
| it's too heavy. On the other hand, the Kno
| is so big that you'd probably lay it on a
| desk to use it. And the target audience is
| students; if Kno (the company) has its
| way, students will be carrying around a
| Kno (the device) rather than a stack of
| textbooks. That's the reason for the huge
| screens; most textbook pages can be shown
| 'full size' on a 14" screen. Five and a
| half pounds doesn't seem so bad compared
| to a backpack full of textbooks.

uanta Redvale MeeGo Atom Tablet appears at Computex 2010
,----[ Quote ]
| If MeeGo based devices even have a chance on
| the market is still a big question mark.
| MeeGo got created by Intel and Nokia earlier
| this year by merging Moblin and Maemo. MeeGo
| is a Linux-based software platform and so
| will be Google Chrome OS. And of course HP
| has now Palm's webOS, which at its heart is
| also Linux.

Asus Challenges Apple's iPad with Eee Pad
,----[ Quote ]
| When chairman Jonney Shih unveiled the Asus
| Eee Pad on stage at Computex today, the crowd
| of journalists almost rushed the stage with
| excitement.
|
| Unlike the similarly-named Asus Eee Tablet,
| which is designed to compete with e-Readers
| like the Nook and the Kindle, the Eee Pad is
| designed to go head-to-head with the Apple
| iPad.
|
| The Eee Pad is a Windows 7-based device that
| uses an Intel CULV Core 2 Duo processor and a
| touch-sensitive capacitive screen. It can be
| used as a multimedia player, e-reader, Web-
| browser, or, with the help of a keyboard
| docking station, full-featured PC. Asus will
| be releasing two versions of the Eee Pad. The
| EP101TC will come with a 10-inch screen and
| the EP121 will ship with a 12-inch screen.
| Asus claims both systems will deliver at
| least 10 hours of battery life.
