Like Godzilla, eBook format XMDF is huge in Japan. The format has been around since 2001 and has gained popularity for displaying novels and manga. Now Sharp has announced that the next-generation of XMDF (standing for “ever-eXtending Mobile Document Format”), which they are cleverly calling “next-generation XMDF,” will be launched within the year.

Don’t expect the Asian eReader market to take a breather despite the recent American market price shakeup (which is far from over). Although most of these eReaders have been in planning for months (or, as is the habit from some Shenzhen companies, weeks), there won’t be much, if any, ebb in the tide in the [...]

Editor’s Note: a few weeks ago a Best Tablet Review reader asked us about the slew of iPad clones selling cheaply through Alibaba.com. He was looking for something affordable but functional.

Building tablets for the business man and woman can be a dangerous thing. The last tablet product that focused solely on professionals just went down in a ball of flames. RIM is rumored to be working on a business tablet, but one that tethers to a user’s BlackBerry. Evidently Cisco thinks there’s a niche to [...]

Separating your product from all the noise at a tech expo is nearly impossible, but Huawei seems to have done that at Computex with the S7 Android tablet. The S7 didn’t capture the eye of everyone, but it did manage to impress a few key people — Chippy from UMPCPortal being one of them. Last [...]

There was a time when the closest thing to a tablet computer was the Texas Instruments calculators. Personally, we still remember the time we finally got Golf to start working on our TI-83. Truly those were magical times. But now it’s time to turn in the most expensive thing in your bookbag — Texas Instruments [...]

We’ve been slacking on our PMP and MID reporting as of late. The tablet market has essentially had its damn burst and we’re constantly getting flooded with new tablet releases and tech.
