Kobo quietly launches Vox Android tablet with 7-inch display, Gingerbread, $200 price tag

Posted on Oct 20, 2011 by MG1

Canadian retailer Future Shop gave us an accidental sneak peek at the tablet last month, but now Kobo is making Vox official, complete with a 7-inch 1024 x 600 resolution AFFS+ display with multi-touch, a 7-hour battery and 8 gigs of internal memory with support for up to 32GB of SD storage. The $200 tablet is running Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and is powered by an 800 MHz processor and 512MB of RAM. There's also a built-in speaker and 3.5mm headphone jack, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi and a variety of pre-loaded apps (naturally you'll have access to Android Market as well).

Kobo Prepping Vox eReader Tablet in Wake of Amazon Kindle Fire

Kobo Prepping Vox eReader Tablet in Wake of Amazon Kindle Fire

Kobo has struggled to maintain mindshare in the face of the Apple iPad, Amazon Kindle, and Barnes & Noble Nook; in July, the shutdown of its main retail partner, Borders meant that the company lost some visibility. Best Buy and Walmart stock Kobo er...

Kobo eReader Touch Edition goes on sale in the US and Canada

Kobo eReader Touch Edition goes on sale in the US and Canada

Posted on Jun 20, 2011 by MG1

At the moment, there are two very similar-looking e-readers with black-and-white Pearl E Ink touchscreens on the market, and now, the smaller and less expensive of the pair is up for grabs. The Kobo eReader Touch Edition went on sale today in the US and Canada for $129.99 (or $139.99 Canadian) at Best Buy, Borders, Walmart, and the Canadian bookseller Indigo.

It also undercuts it by $10 but it lacks the convenience of any physical buttons. Could these trade-offs be worth the trimmer design? We'll leave that to you and your wallet (and the guy who may or may no...
