Looks like the folks over at News Corp decided that they could use their own e-reader, as it has announced the purchase of the 3G-connected Skiff e-reader from Hearst and also invested in Journalism Online. The Skiff platform is touted as specializing in delivering visually appealing layouts for newspaper and magazine content, along with high-resolution graphics, rich typography and dynamic updates. In case you missed it the last time, the Skiff is an 11.5-inch 1200 x 1600 pixel resolution e-reader that focuses on displaying magazines in their native format, and sports 3G data access courtesy of Sprint. Do you think such a move would worry Apple and its iPad?

The large display on Apple's iPad is a beautiful thing, and while it's very suited to watching movies and browsing the web, you can be sure that many folks out there want to be able to fiddle with the popular Google Earth app on it too.

No White iPhone 4 From AT&T At Launch?

With the preorder date for the iPhone 4 just around the corner, a little bit of disappointing news has surfaced, especially if you care what color your iPhone 4 comes in. According to a leaked document, seems that only the black version of the iPhone 4 will be available during the launch, with the white iPhone 4 listed as "available later this summer". Would the color scheme of the iPhone 4 matter to you, or are you willing to take whatever color is offered in order to get the latest iPhone?

Hard Drive

Samsung Launches Its 320GB Spinpoint F4 3.5-inch Hard Drive

Despite many folks rushing out to get 1TB and 2TB hard drives, there is still a significant demand for lower capacity hard drives, probably because not everybody needs that much storage space. Samsung should be looking to capitalize on this as the Korean company has just introduced a new high-speed desktop drive to its Spinpoint F series of drives. This drive, the Spinpoint F4, is estimated to sport a 10 percent increase in read/write performance and a 7 percent lower power consumption than the Spinpoint F1. It spins at 7,200RPM, boasts an 8MB/16MB buffer and is available in 320GB capacities to key OEMs now. Hopefully as technology improves, we'll be presented with faster and more reliable hard drives, minimizing the risk of data loss.
