Developed by Russian company Yota Devices which dealt mostly with modems and routers, the YotaPhone is a unique and novel concept that we hope will come to fruition. This Android-powered smartphone is as thin as most smartphones but comes with two displays-an HD resolution display plus an e-ink one on the back. It’s like having a built-in e-reader with your colored smartphone. And while it was originally intended to slow down battery depletion (e-ink only consumes battery when it is refreshed), we love how the phone could be a Kindle and a phone in one (the Kindle Fire’s eye-straining backlit display doesn’t count).
Amazon’s e-ink reader has been consistently on Christmas wish lists since it first came out in 2007, and it’s no mystery why. The competitively priced reader is backed by Amazon’s wide selection of e-books, newspapers and magazines, allowing owners to consume content anywhere, anytime. Get the paper-like e-ink version for eyes that get easily strained, and fill it up with your recipient’s favorite reads to get him started.

Here’s something that makes for interesting reading. Melissa Dahl, in a feature for Body Odd in msnbc.com, said automatic faucets, which were supposed to reduce the risk of the spread of disease by minimizing contact between users, could be harboring more germs than the old-fashioned kind.
We’ve had conversations with our parents and grandparents wishing to try out new gadgets du jour, but they often end up giving up on them, calling it too difficult, reverting to their old, trusty low-tech phones/computers.
Is it a tablet? Is it a netbook? Is it a laptop? Sitting here on my lap is the Asus EeePad Transformer. As I type away on the full keyboard, it’s easy to forget I’m using an Android Honeycomb tablet–– with a keyboard and trackpad, like a laptop with Honeycomb.
