Even if you compare the two products look wise you can explain why they have kept their products name as iPed whereas its product manual spells it as Apad. iPed is powered by Intel microprocessor and its operating system is Google Android. Although Chinese products are no match for Apple’s quality which they haven’t been able to replicate on their Pod and iPhone clones. But the most attractive feature of every Chinese product is its price .

IPed is priced at ¥9,600 (US$105) comapred to the original Apple iPad ¥48,800 ($536).

While on one hand Apple fights with industry mamoths like Adobe for not allowing Adobe cs5 pack to make flash apps for iphone and targeting Google with its in house mobile advertising iAds, it has failed to check its own house. This time it was iPad which has now been cracked by our favourite Cdevwill. And now Cydia has been installed on iPhone.

OS4.0 for iPhone would bring multiple features to the iPhone and  most of them which seriously were lacking in the phone.

1. Multitasking

2. Folders and memory management

3. iBooks inbuilt app for ebooks

Besides these key features, Apple is also acquiring a smaller company and venturing into iAds, which would be for mobile advertisement/marketing. But do we really need ads on our iPhones?

The game would be priced $9.99.

Well, after the advent of ebook readers this was expected that someone introduces a flexible TFT pixel screen . The  epaper is 14.1 inch diagonal and 300 micrometers thick, best part is that you can turn pages like you do on normal paper and the images would remain crisp and text readable even if you bend it 180 degrees.

For the energy conscious folks there is a good news , not only would the epaper save the regular paper costs and save the trees but it  only consumes power when the image changes.

How ever no information is released on its launch date , speculations are that the product would be launched somewhere in the first half of 2010.

Well! its perhaps the tough decision which most people would find which one to choose  to gift or for yourself.There are quite a lot of options though my top 3 include

Amazon Kindle Barnes & Noble Inc’s  Nook

Kindle DX

Kindle DX

Sony’s The Daily Edition nook wackao

Amazon kindle was the first to bring this new revolution and straight forward opening a new segment. It has a 9.7 inch display(Very good quality), a querty keyboard , average looks and costs around $489 way too much for a ebook reader.

Sony the Daily Edition isnt very impressive either it has a 7-inch touch-screen display and is smaller and cheaper than amazon kindle at $399.99. Looks nice just like a book not like an electronic gadget.

Barnes and Noble’s Nook is certainly my choice among the ebook reader category, it is a sleek gadget, with better  looks in its category, costs around $259 and has a 7 inch screen display with a touch screen keyboard and search panel and control panel. More over it is Android powered device.Battery life is pretty awesome and best in its category.

It can certainly beat all the ebook readers in its category.

The next competition i am looking forward to is between Apple Tables and Nook.
