You’d think a pending lawsuit and a grainy official video would be enough exposure for one little dual-screen e-book reader, but Marvell’s decided to bring out Spring Design’s Alex as a way of showing off their new Armada chip, which claims a faster three frames per second refresh rate along with the usual assorted reductions in cost and power consumption. Maximum PC got the opportunity to see the Alex first-hand at the meeting, and note that while it’s definitely thicker than the kindle (blame goes to the larger battery and second screen, naturally), it’s a smart little device.
