ASUS generated a lot of buzz with its Eee-branded line of products, starting with the Eee PC netbook and is responsible for introducing the netbook to the PC market as an affordable and simple laptop solution for students. A netbook (a portmanteau of the words Internet and notebook) is a small portable laptop computer designed for wireless communication and access to the Internet. By late 2008, netbooks had begun to take market share away from laptops. It is estimated that almost thirty times more netbooks were sold in 2008 (11. 4 mn) than in 2007 (400,000). After the release of the ASUS’s Eee PC, almost every major PC vendor HP, Sony, MSI, Toshiba, Acer, Dell have released competing models. Some companies design them in different directions away from the original Eee PC and they got bigger, more powerful, more expensive, and have even become luxury items. Furthermore, Windows XP has dominated over Linux as the installed operating system. ASUS range1. ASUS Eee PC 701 4G: with Xandros version of Linux, had a 4GB solid state drive, a small 7inch screen, 512MB of RAM and an Intel Celeron M CPU, also available in a variety of color at a cost of $349. 2. ASUS Eee PC 900: With slightly bigger 8. 9in screen, but it has more storage and RAM and is available with either or operating system versions. 3. ASUS Eee PC 901: based on the Intel Atom N270 (1. 6GHz) CPU, Gigabit Ethernet and 802. 11n wireless networking with 6-cell battery, sleeker but heavier model has an 8. 9in screen, 1GB of RAM and was available with either Linux (20GB storage) or Windows XP (12GB storage) operating systems installed. It cost $472. 4. ASUS Eee PC 1000H: with its spinning hard drive it gives little more speed than those solid state drive-based models. Features are same as Eee PC 901 with 10in screen and little closer to a conventional notebook but it only cost $509. 5. ASUS Eee PC 1000HE: with new “Chiclet keyboard” that provides wider gaps between the keys to improve key travel, it includes a 10in screen, 160GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM and an Intel Atom N270 1. 6GHz CPU, cost $654. HP rangeHP was the 2nd vendor after ASUS to introduce a netbook to the market. 1. HP 2133 Mini-Note PC aims at business users, not students. It had an 8. 9in screen, a VIA C7-M CPU (1. 6GHz), 2GB of RAM, a huge 160GB hard drive, and it was the first netbook to run Windows Vista Business edition. It also had an ExpressCard/54 slot, making it a desirable choice for users wanting to use a 3G data card. It cost $499 at release. 2. HP Mini 1001TU: with $399 price tag, smaller and cooler than the 2133 Mini-Note, it is based on an Intel Atom N270 CPU (1. 6GHz), 1GB of RAM, a 60GB hard drive and 802. 11g wireless networking but a bigger 10. 2in screen. 3. HP Mini 2140: features are similar to the 2133 Mini-Note but an Intel Atom CPU instead of a VIA C7-M CPU and the option to use Windows Vista Business or Windows XP. MSI Wind U100 MSI was the 3rd vendor to enter the netbook market. With its white color, a 10in screen, an 80GB hard drive, 1GB RAM, ran Windows XP, and Intel’s Atom N270 CPU (1. 6GHz) it provides excellent battery life through its 6-cell battery. Its price was $509 at launch. Acer RangeThe next vendor was Acer with its Linpus-based Aspire One netbooks. Acer Aspire One: It has an 8. 9in screen, weighed only 900 grams, 512MB of RAM available at a cost of $436. It has an 8GB solid state drive installed, but also included two SD memory card slots but there is also a Windows XP version available with 1. 5GB of RAM and a 120GB hard drive for $509. Acer Aspire One AOD 150: It is a 10. 2in version with 1. 6GHz Intel Atom CPU, 1GB RAM, 160GB hard drive, Windows XP, but it does have the best screen quality for a netbook. Dell range1. Dell Inspiron Mini 9: It has an 8. 9in screen, a solid state drive (16GB), an Intel Atom N270 CPU (1. 6GHz), and 1GB of RAM. Despite its poor design, the Mini 9 was the unit of choice for mobile phone vendors. 2. Dell Inspiron Mini 12: It has a 10. 2in screen, uses an Intel Atom Z530 (1. 6GHz) CPU rather than an N270 model, runs Windows XP, 1GB of RAM, and an 80GB hard drive. Due to the 3-cell battery, the Mini 12 has poor battery life, and at $618 it is an expensive unit considering you does not even get 802. 11n wireless networking. Lenovo IdeaPad S10Lenovo’s IdeaPad S10 netbook is more in the news because the Department of Education and Training’s choose it for teachers and students. It’s a deal set to be worth $109 million and will roll out 267,000 units. The Lenovo netbook was chosen over other has nice styling, runs Windows XP, has a 160GB hard drive, a 10in screen, and 1GB of RAM. Those specifications are standard, but the notebook has an ExpressCard/34 expansion slot. The IdeaPad S10 does offer increased drive capacity which may be of benefit when running memory intensive applications.

The company claims both netbooks kill bacteria with its anti-bacterial Silver Nano ions coating on the keyboard.
E-Ink is not an ink as such, but a form of encapsulation used in eBook Readers. Ink has been used for thousands of years, and the principle of ink upon paper to convey thoughts, ideas and messages is a sound one. Paper is easy to carry around, and does not require a power source, but it also has limitations. It is finite, and has to be replaced when used, and what is written cannot be updated. It can be scored out or added to, but not updated.
In l& #039; à ¨re à ©lectronique, then, parecerÃa reasonable of dà ©velopper one à ©quivalent to à ©lectronique d& #039; red ordinary that superarÃa these dà ©fauts, and of c& #039; it is what à ©tà © did. Dà ¨s 2000, people discutÃan the future. Like Kevin Kelly l& #039;  put à time. The 19 COM of June of 2000: & amp; quot; The people of l& #039; à ©cran (that works to the places like l& #039; red and Xerox d& #039; E) crà ©ent the fine layers of the paper and plÃstico that has l& #039; red numà ©rique. A piece of paper becomes then à ©cran of paper: minutes oà  ¹ has poà ©sie là – part, prà ³ ximo has time. & amp; quot;
E-Ink Corporation was founded in 1997 in response to developments carried at the Media Lab of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Joe Jacobson of MIT applied for a patent in 1996, which was awarded in 2000. There had been previous work carried out on tiny magnets which were black one side and white the other, flipping over according the polarity of the charge applied to them.
E-Ink, as it was called, is a material that is produced in the form of a film that can be integrated into electronic displays. It consists of a microencapsulated suspension in a clear medium containing particles which are white one half and black the other, the white being positively charged, and the black with a negative charge. According to Digital Book Readers, the technology behind electronic paper is thirty years old; it was developed at Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center).
When the top and bottom of each microcapsule have opposite electric fields applied, the white half of the particles flip up towards the top when that is charged with a negative electrical field, and the black to the bottom which is charged positive. That microcapsule then appears white, and the opposite is true when the fields are reversed. In that way, text can be shown in black and white.
Development continued so that the display remained even after the power source was switched off, and E Ink Corporation formed an association with Phillips, who announced that the first E-ink screen should be available by early 2003. Later, on 1st June, 2009, E Ink Corporation agreed to be bought over by Prime View International for $215 million.
The technology led to the development of the eReader, designed to read eBooks produced using the E-ink technology such as the iLiad, the Sony Reader, the Reader from Plastic Logic and the Amazon Kindle. The technology was also incorporated into cell phone displays, the first being the Motorola F3.
Nevertheless, à ©tait when Oprah has become impliquà ©, and to à ©noncà © Amazon& amp; #039; s prà ignites for à ªtre to their reader ©fà ©rà © d& #039; eBook, this of eReaders really to frappà © to far. Amazon& amp; #039; s radiates rÃpidamente vidà © and d& #039; others came on scà ¨ne, like Sony with his 6& amp; quot; it examines PRS-505, for that reason using l& #039; visualizacià ³ n d& #039; And-Red. The first reader d& #039; ebook of color in the world à ©tait to Fujitsu& amp; #039; s Flepia, available à  to go d& #039; April of 2009.
This machine offers an 8″ touchscreen with the capability of 260,000 colors, together with wireless Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and also offers a mini USB port. It also provides an on-screen keyboard, missing from the Kindle, and an SD card reader than can be used to store books purchased from Papylus, an online book store.
Another new development in 2009 was Amazon’s Kindle 2, offering a 16-tone grayscale E-Ink screen. Dutch company Endless Ideas joined the club with the BeBook, and although a bit down-market in appearance compared to some eReaders, it nevertheless offers multiple fonts and three zooms, while weighing in at a featherweight 220 grams (7. 8 ounces).
So what does the future hold for ebook readers? Much of that will depend upon the future of reading itself, and according to Steve jobs, Apple CEO, “It doesn’t matter how good or bad the product is, the fact is that people don’t read anymore. Forty percent of the people in the US read one book or less last year. ”
It is unlikely that people will stop reading altogether, of course, and of those that do read, many will still prefer the regular book with its looks and feel. However, the use of eBook readers might well expand in business and education as information is disseminated electronically, and these convenient portable devices can be used anywhere, particularly with wireless internet connections.
Color will definitely expand, and the $1,000 price tag of the Fujitsu Flepia and its successors will drop as competitions heats up. However, perhaps the future does not lie in eReaders per se, but in the technology of E-Ink and E-Paper in general. People prefer portable devices, and they do not want to use multiple devices for multiple uses. The development of the netbook from the laptop might provide a clue as to the future of eBook readers.
Netbook is a small basically portable computer, and a device of this type has been predicted stops to be the main device of connection Internet within 10 years. He n& #039; there is no reason for which netbook cannot carry out the combined functions l& #039; portable computer, of Blackberry and l& #039; to eReader, using the technology d& #039; And-Red. Netbook with a touch screen of color, a technology d& #039; And-Red and of paper, a keyboard to extracted slide or to hidden part (or perhaps even a recognition of the word) and with possibilities of video, d& #039; acoustics and of portable telephone could well-being the device of the future that will replace all the had portable devices in the hand.
Who knows, but one thing is certain. Nothing stands still, and the Kindles and Flepias of this world will be totally different beasts next year, let alone in ten years time. E-Ink has come of age, and where it goes from here is anybody’s guess, although the future of eReaders likely lies in an amalgamation of several currently individual technologies and electronic devices.

It is essential that you opt for the most suitable type of receipt printer for your business as the incorrect choice could cost you money in the long run or even make you non compliant according to certain regulations. This article covers the types of printers available detailing the benefits of each type and how this relates to your business.
There are 3 main types of receipt printer
Thermal receipt printer
Thermal printers have become the most popular choice in recent years as they are often the most reliable, easy to use and do not require any ink cartridges or ribbons. The technology relies upon chemically treated paper that is sensitive to heat. The printer heats the paper via holes in the print head to create text and graphics. Thermal printers are also regarded as the fastest type of receipt printer with some models reaching speeds of up to 250mm second. This speed and ease of use makes thermal printers ideal for fast turnover environments such as supermarkets and high street retail outlets.
Thermal receipts do have a weakness due to their design as they fade very quickly in sunlight and can actually turn black if exposed to direct heat. This makes thermal printers unsuitable for institutions that require the receipt to last a certain time due to regulations such as banking and finance.
Dual colour can be obtained by some models at the higher end of the market with specialised thermal paper but the results can be disappointing and the technology is rarely used at present.
Thermal receipt printers are generally recommended for high turnover/ general retail and hospitality front of house.
Impact printers
Impact printers or dot matrix printers are the oldest type of printer in the market and generally require a ribbon containing the ink to operate. The impact mechanism stamps the characters through the ribbon onto the paper similar to a typewriter. There are some models that can use paper that contain microcapsules of ink which burst upon impact and that do not require ribbons but these are in small numbers and generally restricted to payment devices.
Impact printers are easy identifiable as they are considerably noisier than other types of printer and are generally noticeably slower than thermal printers. Impact printers are commonly have models that can utilise two and three ply paper or house a second roll for audit purposes. In recent years and in most environments this type of printer has been superseded by thermal printers due to speed and the need for consumables other than paper.
In some markets however the impact printer still dominates such as in the banking and gaming industries. They also the standard in kitchens in the hospitality industry as thermal receipts are easily erased by heat. Some industries such as banking and gaming have regulations regarding certain types of receipts and about the length of time receipts are required to remain readable. Ink based receipts last considerably longer than thermal receipts and is therefore used by these industries as standard.
It is worth noting that ribbons can come in different colours such as purple, black, red and dual red/black with the latter ribbon being used to highlight certain transactions types such as refunds in red.
Impact receipt printers are recommended for kitchens, banking, gaming, and low turnover retail and hospitality environments.
Inkjet receipt printers.
Inkjet printers are regarded as the successor to impact printers as they also use ink but they offer a superior printing quality. Most inkjet printers allow printing via ink cartridges in two colours with normally a mix of black, green, red and blue. Businesses spend a great deal of time and resources on brand recognition and using colour is a popular way of doing this. The technology can also be put to great use by printing colourful advertising or promotions on the receipt thus generating return visits by the customers.
In reality the take up of inkjet receipt printers has been minimal. This is thought to be due to a couple of reasons, firstly it is perceived that the changing of the ink at the till point is tricky and time consuming and secondly the speed at which these printers operate is considered too slow for major retailers to adopt.
Inkjet receipt printers do however offer the same longer lasting receipts as impact printers making them suitable for most business types that do not require the speed.
Inkjet receipt printers are recommended for low turnover retail, banks and the gaming industry.
Manufacturers.
So what brand should I go for? This market is well serviced by numerous manufacturers with a wealth of choice and price range. As with many markets there is a huge influx of far eastern models at rock bottom prices. As with most things that you purchase, you get what you pay for and it is worth noting that with the major manufacturers you tend to receive superior products that last longer and obtain better support if something goes wrong. Remember if your receipt printer stops working you will find it very difficult to trade. The general rule is the higher turnover your business achieves the better the receipt printer you should invest in.
Anything else?
The receipt printer you choose has to work with the software and hardware that you are going be using. Firstly check with the software supplier which brands and models the software supports. Also check that the printer you intend to buy has drivers for the operating system that you are going to be using. Lastly, ensure the printer has the right interface for the hardware that you are going to be using. These are usually serial (RS232), USB, parallel or Ethernet but rising up the ranks are wireless and Bluetooth.
It seems as if everyone these days is trying to simplify their lives and even Oprah is no exception. With our busy lifestyles that include traveling from here to there, the eBook Reader is something that any one with a busy lifestyle might want to consider. Even Oprah raves about her Kindle and claims that it has saved her the agony of traveling with those heavy books.
If you have been considering the purchase of an e-Reader then there are a few things you absolutely need to consider before making your final decision. An eBook, of course, is nothing more than a digital file which is the same as the normal printed book except it’s just electronic. Until the roll-out of this technology, eBooks were read through your PC or laptop.
So how does an eBook Reader differ from a PC or a Laptop? With a specialized technology called e-Ink or e-Paper, the e-Reader is will display text and images that feels almost like it’s on real paper. This helps you prevent eye strain like you usually will experience when reading from a computer screen for extended periods of time.
Also, it’s energy efficient and requires very little charging. The only time you are truly straining your battery at any level is when you actually turn a page. And the best part of all, you can read in bright sunlight without any problems. According to Digital Book Readers, E Ink’s electronic ink uses a type of clear liquid plastic with millions of microcapsules, which are tiny (at almost the diameter of one of our hairs) spherical objects.
So let’s look at 9 important factors to take into account when making your purchase:
1. ÂQué books estÃn available?
You want to make certain that you have access to all the books that you might want to access through your reader. Consequently, keep in mind, that the Sony store has somewhere around 100,000 books, whereas the Amazon Kindle store has over 280,000 books. Oprah endorsed the Kindle and the choice of books seemed to be one of her most talked about features. It doesn’t do you much good to find a really great eBook reader if there are no books to read!
2. Pay Close Attention to the Display.
Since you are going to be spending a lot of hours reading books it is important that the display is comfortable to the eyes. So what do we need to consider. First of all take a look at the size of the screen. Standard size is 6″ but most people prefer a little larger than this and the Fujitsu Flepia offers 8″ and the new Kindle DX a whopping 9. 7″.
Also keep in mind if you are going to view a lot of graphics you might want to also consider the gray scale. The standard is about 8 gray scales. The Flepia, however, offers a touch screen with the capability for 260,000 colors. At $1000 you pay for it! The BeBook by Dutch company Endless Ideas offer multiple fonts that can be changed as you read (except in PDF format), and three levels of zoom.
3. Long Battery Life is a Big Deal.
It’s not much fun to have to recharge your device every couple of house. You should be able to experience around 7000 page turns before recharging. The Flepia by Fujitsu offer 40 hours of continuous use on one charge and Sony’s PRS-505 gives you an average 6,800 page turns, and the Kindle DX four days on wireless.
4. Size Matters.
Size is extremely important if you travel a lot. It’s imperative that the Ebook Reader be portable. You have to find a happy medium between the reader taking up too much room and it being large enough to read easily. The average weight is about 10 ounces, but the BeBook weighs in at only 7. 8 ounces (220 grams).
5. Make Sure the Reader Supports Various Types of File Formats.
Some only support very specific file formats. Case in point is the Amazon Kindle 2 which doesn’t support PDF Files. It does however offer an option that lets you convert PDF files into a Kindle format. The Sony PRS-700 does support PDF files, Doc files and others. The iRex iLiad supports PDF, XHTML, Mobipocket and plain text, and can also display BMP, PNG and JPEG images, though not in color. It also has stereo speakers giving it audio book capability. The Kindle 2 also offers text to speech capability. The Kindle 2 does not support PDF, but the Kindle DX can read native PDF files.
6. Can You Go Wireless?
Still, c& #039; it is strictly a personal election but one that more and more the consumers demand. It& amp; #039; s certainement intéressant to considérer, ET l& #039; iliade and ignites 2 have connectivité wireless, of même that the Flepia with Bluetooth does and wifi wireless.
7. What Type of Warranty Is Offered?
As with any new technology introduced into the marketplace, bugs and glitches are often prevalent at first. Therefore, it would be worthwhile to have at least a one year warranty just in case. You can, of course, also always purchase the extended warranty where offered.
8. Have You Reviewed the Testimonials?
It’s always important to see what other users think about a piece of equipment. Since many of these eBook Readers are bought online it is relatively simple to find testimonials regarding the various types.
9. How Often Do You Want To Use Your Reader?
Do you want this to replace actual books or do you just want to use the Reader when traveling? This is definitely a consideration and might affect many of the buying decisions discussed above.
In short, the eBook Reader can offer you many options that regular books do not. And although you might want to consider an endorsement from Oprah, she might not always know the best choice for your individual circumstances. So shop around, do your homework and choose the right reader for your specific needs.

Some of the popular file formats include Adobe PDF, Microsoft LIT, Amazon AZW, Mobipocket PRC, PDB, etc. Some popular PC content formats, such as HTML, TXT, and DOC, may also compete as e-book formats. In this article, let’s have a look at some of these popular file formats and their software readers.
1. Amazon AZW
With the production of Amazon Kindle, Amazon created also a file format that Kindle recognizes, called AZW. With its own DRM (Digital Rights Management) structure, AZW format protects the e-book publishers and authors from possible piracy.

It was created for storing and transferring portable, printable documents. Adobe’s own PostScript format forms the basis of PDF documents.
PDF documents support compression, password protection, and are viewable in virtually all platforms (hence the name ‘portable document format’). It is estimated that more than 250 million PDF documents are in existence on the Web. Adobe’s software applications, Acrobat and Acrobat Reader were used to create and read PDF files, but in 2008, PDF was released as an open standard, and now there are several applications available to read and edit PDF documents. This has enhanced PDF’s popularity in the e-book arena.
