Nielsen has released the results of a new study of e-reader users and it …
Samsung is going to an interesting place in its attempts to avoid being found guilty of infringing on Apple’s tablet computer patents with its design for the Galaxy Tab Android tablet: Yesterday’s tomorrow.
Apparently, Samsung plans to cite the 1968 movie 2001: A Space Odyssey as proof that Apple didn’t invent the tablet as we know it …

All Things Digital’s Arik Hesseldahl reports that sales of HP’s TouchPad at Best Buy aren’t great. In fact, his source says that Best Buy has managed to sell less than ten percent of the 270,000 TouchPads that HP has shipped to the retailer so far. It’s causing Best Buy some angst, Hesseldahl says.

With all due respect to Steve Jobs, I’ve never been convinced by his stance that 7-inch tablets are a bad idea. But I haven’t been able to mount a convincing case that he’s wrong, either.

Acer’s newest tablet, the 7-inch Iconia Tab A100, is the first of its size out of the gate to run Google’s made-for-tablets “Honeycomb” version of the Android operating system.
