As PR stunts go, launching your new iPad-rivalling tablet by smashing a huge Apple logo is a pretty obvious one, but the execs at Hanvon seemingly wanted to make it entirely clear what their TouchPad B10 is targeting. The company's execs took to the stage and proceeded to batter a large Apple-shaped ice sculpture with hammers, before whipping out the Windows 7 based B10 for a quick demo. Read The Full Story

The Microsoft Courier and the HP Slate may be stillborn, but if you have tablet dreams that don’t involve the iPad you still have a few choices.

Is there room in your cold, dark heart for a basic multitouch slate running Windows 7? Hanvon sure hopes so, with the Chinese manufacturer showing off just such a prototype at the IDF 2009 expo last week. GottaBeMobile's Xavier was on hand to have a brief play, and he reckons the 8.9-inch Atom-based slate feels pretty good. Read The Full Story

Chris Davies, Nov 4th 2008 Discuss [2]

Chinese firm Hanvon have announced a 5-inch ebook reader, the N510, using the E Ink Vizplex display and Hanvon's own pen-input technology. The N510 is 11mm thick, in part because it has no backlighting, and has a 167ppi, SVGA 800 x 600 display. It's a well-travelled design, too; astronauts used the N510 in space during the Shenzhou-7 space mission in September. Read The Full Story
