Spring Design Alex hands-on (Update: video!) -- Engadget
Can they out Nook the Nook? It certainly looks like.
Funny thing about that of course is that Spring claims that B&N stole their design after an early potential partnership meeting, yet now that Nook has all the attention everybody is only ever going to view it as the other way around.
More sad than funny, really. The Alex seems to come out swinging, addressing the major issue with the Nook (the speed). Here’s hoping its price is compelling enough to really compete!
