Spring Design announces partnership with Borders, lowers price on Alex reader
What do you do when one major book retailer (allegedly) steals your design and makes their own version of it? Why, you go and make a partnership with that major book retailer's major retail competitor, stick out your tongue, and hope for the best! That's what Spring Design seems to have done, signing up with Borders to sell the luscious Alex e-reader that we finally got to play with the other day. Borders will provide retail space for the reader and will create a branded digital book store as well as some "mobile eBook applications" of indeterminate nature. The most interesting part of the announcement? A new price for the device of $359, which makes it exactly 40 dollars more attractive than it was this morning. Full release after the break.

Spring Design’s Alex e-reader gets February 22 release date, $399 price
If you like us were concerned that the Spring Design Alex e-reader would get mired down in legal battles and never find its way into the caressing hands of book lovers everywhere, you're not alone. Thankfully that doesn't seem to be the case, with the company indicating the dual-screen uberbook will be shipping toward the end of next month; February 22 to be precise. That's the good news. The bad? A price of $399, putting it nearly $150 higher than its closest competition at this point, the Nook, and while our brief hands-on time with the device left us with a much better impression than Barnes & Noble's device did when we got to play with it, we're not sure just how many people are going to be willing to pay that much of a premium for it. What say you?

Direction To Assess Mini Refrigerator
How To Assess Mini Fridges: br /
br /
Five Things To Thinkbr /
br /
As the world continues to put a premium on convenience and comfort, mini a href=http://www.else-electronic.com/ target=_blankfridges/a continue to grow in popularity. They are frequently used in the dorm space, in the basement or TV space, and even in the boardroom.br /
br /
You can find them in just about any capacity, too, although dorms sometimes area limits on how big you can get them, so make sure you check ahead of you purchase. In ordinary, you can get a mini fridge thats on the subject of 1.5 to 3.5 cubic feet (6-24 cans) big for under $50-100, which is a high-quality price.br /
br /
The internet is a great house to compare and contrast models, and looks. Numerous websites are built for the sole reason of allowing you to compare prices and shipping options of the same type, let alone offering an easy to use system to assess completely the different purchasing options available. Probably the biggest benefit of using the internet to buy your mini fridge is having it delivered to your home, versus having to go lug a couple foot, twenty plus pound box back to your homebr /
br /
A word of caution, make sure youre purchasing the proper item. Many stores online and offline use the term mini refrigeratorbr /
, when they importantly mean a cooler. A cooler will allow you to storeroom your food and beverages, keeping them cool, as long as they are already cool. A cooler does not actually have the energy to refrigerate your stuff.br /
br /
Also be weary of the actual price of the goods. Just need cars, and many other items, the hidden fees can alter the price comparison amongst products. Several websites supply mini fridges without a shipping charge, while others can charge up to $20 (which could be as much as 40% of the original price.br /
br /
You must always check the brand name in the past making your mini refrigerator decision. Purchase quality, and you can be rewarded with something that will last twenty years. Purchase no name brands and you may be purchasing a new one six months from nowadays.br /
Also do the world a favor and check the EnergyStar label earlier than making your decision. br /
br /
The energy consumption of mini fridges can differ significantly from next to no electricity use, to two thirds of a normal sized refrigerator. This can also impact the overall expenditure of the fridge you determine on.br /
br /
Price, brand, look, shipping, and size. Those are the five things we strongly recommend you think earlier purchasing a mini refrigeratorbr /

Entelligence: Lessons from the CrunchPad
Entelligence is a column by technology strategist and author Michael Gartenberg, a man whose desire for a delicious cup of coffee and a quality New York bagel is dwarfed only by his passion for tech. In these articles, he'll explore where our industry is and where it's going -- on both micro and macro levels -- with the unique wit and insight only he can provide.
First, smart vendors under-promise and over-deliver. The hype and buzz around the CrunchPad were off the charts from day one. Everything from the delivery schedule to the initial price points were unrealistic, made moreso by continued promises to publicly show the prototype and targeted price points that kept rising with each announcement. Keep it low-key and simple -- then surprise and delight your customers with early ship dates and lower than expected prices. Too much promise with no delivery is the classic recipe for having a product get tagged vaporware. Always good to remember, "Whom gods destroy, they first make humble."
