| The Skiff Reader by Skiff, LLC, and Sprint |
Skiff, LLC and Sprint just announced on January 4th that the Skiff Reader will be previewed at the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. The Skiff reader is the first e-reader for newspapers and magazines – much larger than the Kindle at 11.5 inches and a 1600×1200 resolution, but only a quarter of an inch thick. It only weighs a little over a pond and can last, on average, over a week of use between charges. The device will connect to the Skiff digital store via Wi-Fi and Sprint’s 3G network and can be used for not only newspapers and magazines, but books, blogs and other content as well from multiple publishers. It is also durable since it is made out of a flexible sheet of stainless-steel foil instead of glass, and can actually bend a fair amount without damage.

| Samsung and Sprint to Release Eco-Friendly Reclaim in August |
On August 16th Samsung and Sprint will launch the Reclaim, an affordable phone (under $50 with mail-in rebate) that has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, e-mail and Web access, a 2.0 megapixel camera and GPS navigation. So what’s special about the Reclaim? It’s case is partly made of corn-based biodegradable plastic. 60% is non-biodegradable since heat from the device could soften or melt the case, but nonetheless, the Reclaim is the first phone to use bioplastic instead of recycled plastics. The cheap price is also definitely a plus, but the standard 2-year service commitment is still a requirement.
