First introduced in the middle of last month, Wacom has shown off its Intuos Creative Stylus for the iPad, a pen offering that aims to make drawing on the Apple slate feel more authentic and variable. The stylus is being offered in black and a blue/black design and is supported by a variety of known […]
Samsung’s Galaxy S 4 may have a great Super AMOLED display out of the box, but it’s overkill for ereading duties and, E Ink would argue, isn’t really best suited to browsing through ebooks. Enter PocketBook’s accessory case for the Galaxy S 4, a fold-out case complete with a 4.8-inch e-paper screen on the inside […]
Kickstarter success 3Doodler proved there was a market for 3D printing without the geek requirement, but can crafting in the third-dimension really be as easy as wielding a hot nib? True, you won’t be creating any replacement machine parts, but with a $99.99 price tag that’s probably no surprise. We caught up with the $2.3m […]
Jabra introduced its original Solemate wireless speaker late last year, and as we noted in our hands-on, it was about the weight and size of your average water bottle. For those who need something with more portability, the company is back with a new offering, the Jabra Solemate Mini, which it hails as an ultra-portable […]
The team at Amazon behind the Kindle have refreshed the Kindle Paperwhite with a boost to both software and hardware, and all the way over in Berlin this week we’re having another look at it. This device looks – from all outward appearances – to be the exact same model as the original. It’s once […]
Lenovo has built upon its original Yoga foundation with the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, a so-called multi-mode notebook that will be familiar to anyone who got their hands on the original model. We got some hands-on time with the laptop here at IFA 2013 and have returned with a gallery and our impressions of the […]
With ASUS doing so extremely well with the Nexus 7 (and its reboot), Lenovo appears to have summoned a competitor in the Lenovo S5000 that – at the same time as it competes, brings with it the company’s legacy software standards. What you’ve got here is a 7-inch display working with IPS LCD technology and […]
At the last CES event, we got our hands on Lenovo’s K900 handset, a powerful smartphone that has been eclipsed by the company’s latest offering, the Lenovo Vibe X. With the Vibe X comes some of the features we liked most about the K900 wrapped in a modern makeover for the 2013 consumer sphere. We […]
So we know all about Amazon’s new Kindle Paperwhite, but those press images don’t really do the trick, do they? Weirdly, we had to travel all the way to Berlin, but we did manage to get our hands on the new device. As we said before, there aren’t a ton of aesthetic changes here. Thankfully, we had our last-gen Paperwhite in hand, and quite frankly, we couldn’t really tell the difference — until we picked it up, that is. Gen two of the Paperwhite is noticeably lighter than its predecessor.
Longtime Paperwhite users will be able to tell you that the minute they hold it in their hands. Another obvious clue: the giant Amazon logo on the soft-touch rear. Granted, we’re probably picking nits here (especially yours truly, someone who carries his own Paperwhite around in a case), but the older Kindle logo was a bit more tasteful. We did really appreciate the front lighting in the earlier generation — and then Kobo came along with the Glo. Since then, things haven’t really been the same.%Gallery-slideshow81815%
Update: Amazon wanted us to let you know that the version of the Kindle we had a chance to look at is specifically intended for the European market.

Simple.TV’s first streaming DVR had its rough edges, but the company is clearly willing to make improvements — it just announced the second generation of its set-top box. The redesign is more flexible, sporting both a second tuner and compatibility with international broadcast standards like DVB-C, DVB-S2, DVB-T2 and ISDB-T. Both first- and second-generation owners will also get a revamped Version 2.0 interface that offers personalized content, faster updates and new streaming clients for Android, iOS, Roku players and the web. Simple.TV doesn’t yet have pricing for the new DVR, but it tells us that both the device and the Version 2.0 upgrade will reach the US by mid-to-late November; Europeans will get the hardware next spring.
