Everyone keeps bashing the Apple iPad for having an LCD screen (even though we've been reading on computers and laptops for years on years).

And everyone keeps talking about the Pixel Q screen and e-Ink but I've yet to hear any reviews that show it truly makes reading better.

To me it doesn't matter either way. But I'd like to see an e-Ink device with color so I can compare and get experience....]]>Mar 5th 2010 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/Mar 5th 2010 5:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/Mar 5th 2010 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/
I was thinking the same thing...I've checked the site throughout the week and was waiting to see it to go from 1st week in March, then 2nd week in March, then Spring 2010......

Sucks cuz I really want to see some hands on reviews!!]]>Mar 5th 2010 5:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/Mar 5th 2010 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/Mar 5th 2010 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/Mar 5th 2010 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/
From what I've read on, they're suppose to be partnering up with Border's. ]]>Mar 5th 2010 5:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/Mar 5th 2010 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/
But seriously, VERY excited for the Alex reader.]]>Mar 5th 2010 5:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/
The FCC doesn't have testing rooms (anymore). Instead, the FCC grants authority to privately-funded an run TCBs (Test Certification Bodies) all across the country (and abroad) to perform 99% of the tests to necessary to comply with FCC regulations.

In any event, I agree with you this is the shittiest test area I've seen in any FCC report. The FCC Grant of Certification lists the TCB involved, but I'm too lazy to check. ]]>Mar 5th 2010 5:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/Mar 5th 2010 6:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/
I spend half of my work time at FCC-approved TCBs (where the testing is conducted) testing my company's products, and have peaked into countless products (although I'm sure the high-profile ones the labs are told to keep out of sight at all times). The coolest one I've seen was the Tesla Roadster, it was being tested for EMI in a semi-anechoic chamber and was propped on four jacks and going at full blast - coolest shit ever. This was waaaay before it was announced. ]]>Mar 5th 2010 7:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/In case anyone was wondering, the test equipment in the picture is a spectrum analyzer (bottom) and a power meter (top).]]>Mar 5th 2010 7:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/Mar 5th 2010 10:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/Mar 6th 2010 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-hits-the-fcc/Mar 8th 2010 5:50PM
