This year Santa arrived a little early and dropped off a new Pandigital eBook reader. The unit has a 7 inch screen and uses full color. The Pandigital has Android built-in which makes this more of a tablet then an eBook reader. The unit does feel nice and does not have that cheap feeling to it. The built in apps have everything a user would want out of the box. You get a browser email and yes eBook reader app. The built in WiFi worked well even at a distance form the router. The nice thing is that you can also sideload apps on the device. The reader does not have a marketplace, but you can find lots of apps that will work without much trouble. The easiest way to add content is to use a PC or Mac to fill an SD card with folders and files. Once you have your videos music and pictures on an SD card the Pandigital does a great job of handling various media types.

The screen is nice and bright and scrolling with my finger was not a problem. You do get a stylus that you can use to tap and navigate with, but I found the touch response was for most part good. If you are looking for a cheap tablet PC or eBook reader then I think the Pandigital will be a nice addition and at the low price these things sell for you do not have much to complain about. The device should not be compared with an Apple iPad as it is nowhere as feature rich, but for what it is you do get a lot for your money and at under $200 it’s a nice unit to surf the web or catch up on emails and Facebook.

There are many sites with hacking tips for the Pandigital and it might be possible to get more out of this low price tablet with a little effort.

Netbooks are hot and you need one. Last year I bought the original eee PC and at the time being the only netbook out it was amazing. This little netbook allowed me to work from anywhere and it was very light weight. The eee PC had a version of Linux on it that I quickly updated and started to add my own software. Then a few months after I bought my netbook they started to come out with Windows XP, which if you need certain software might be a better choice. The fact is I love the Linux OS on my eee PC, but sometimes there is the need for Window software. Now I am looking once again for a new netbook. The screen size should be anywhere from 10 to 12 inches. The HP and Dell model come in these sizes. Prices start at about $299.99 and up.
