"The Spring Design Alex, introduced in late 2009, died today. The causes aren't exactly known, but it is said that the company's investor \"stopped the money.\" We surmise its $399 price point at least put it on life support. The Alex lived a rather short life, in which it battled Barnes &amp;amp; Noble's Nook on shelves as well as in courts. The E-ink and LCD e-reader did, however, live to be rooted and sideloaded with apps. We'll always remember the Spring Design Alex as a brave Android, dual-screen e-reader willing to venture into tablet territories. Spring Design has confirmed the passing, but hasn't said if it plans to bring more children into the world. We wish them the best in this tough time."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
