First up the open platform: DMC Worldwide announces Copia, a social networking \/ e-book store hybrid that&#8217;s gearing up hit private beta status this month and public beta in March. With that out of the way, let&#8217;s talk hardware. Lower on the list of gear is the keyboard-laden Tidal with a 6-inch, 600 x 800 screen and 2GB internal storage. Just above that is the Tidal Touch with a 9-inch, 768 x 1024 screen, earphone \/ mic jack, 4GB internal upgradeable to microSD. And then we&#8217;ve got Ocean, which comes in 6-inch (600 x 800 pixels) and 9-inch (768 x 1024 pixels) variants and both feature capacitive touchscreens, 802.11b\/g WiFi, tilt sensors, 4GB internal storage expandable via microSD, and some form of earphone \/ mic jack. Both Tidal Touch and Ocean 9 have optional 3G connectivity (that in the process halves internal storage to 2GB and nixing the microSD slot). Prices reportedly range between two and three Benjamins and will hit availability status online in April, followed by retail in June. Presser? You guessed right, it&#8217;s after the break.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/copia-promises-to-blend-e-books-and-social-networking-into-set-of-new-readers\/\">Copia promises to blend e-books and social networking into set of new readers<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/copia-promises-to-blend-e-books-and-social-networking-into-set-of-new-readers\/2584130\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/copia1-2010-01-03_00-07-20-rm-eng-1_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/copia-promises-to-blend-e-books-and-social-networking-into-set-of-new-readers\/2584131\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/copia1-2010-01-03_00-07-20-rm-eng_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/copia-promises-to-blend-e-books-and-social-networking-into-set-of-new-readers\/2584132\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/copia1-2010-01-05_23-54-43-rm-eng_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/copia-promises-to-blend-e-books-and-social-networking-into-set-of-new-readers\/2584133\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/copia1-2010-01-05_23-54-52-rm-eng_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/copia-promises-to-blend-e-books-and-social-networking-into-set-of-new-readers\/2584136\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/copia1-2010-01-05_23-54-59-rm-eng_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010\/01\/06\/copia-promises-to-blend-e-books-and-social-networking-into-set-o\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Copia promises to blend e-books and social networking into set of new readers<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010\/01\/06\/copia-promises-to-blend-e-books-and-social-networking-into-set-o\/\">Copia promises to blend e-books and social networking into set of new readers<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\">Engadget<\/a> on Wed, 06 Jan 2010 09:47:00 EST.
