If you’ve been disinterested in the current wave of e-book readers due to their size, have a gander at Hanvon’s N510. Yeah, you’ll have to look a little harder than usual given its diminutive size, but it’s there (we promise). Hailed as the world’s first five-inch e-book to use electrophoretic technology, this power-sipping device relies on an E Ink Vizplex display and offers up 180-degrees viewing, an 11-millimeter thick frame and support for TXT, HTML, PNG, JPG, PDF, XEB, CEB, MP3 and MTXT formats. The daylight-viewable screen boasts an SVGA (800 x 600) resolution, and it comes loaded with a 1GB SD card and a mini USB port. There’s no direct mention of availability, but it should start floating around soon (somewhere in the world, at least) for $295.

Sure, you’ve got a couple Neil Young CDs and maybe a battered Farm-Aid T-shirt, but if you’re really into ol’ Shakey, you’ll pick up one of his hotrod electric Lincoln conversions. Yep, Neil’s started a company called Linc Volt to develop electric car technologies, and he’s already converted his own personal ’59 Lincoln in an attempt to win the Automotive X-Prize — a process that’s the subject of an upcoming documentary. Young says he’s mostly focused on developing the tech — Linc Volt will provide instructions as well as performing the actual converisons. Sure, we’re into it — just make sure it’s got one of those rumbling speaker systems and we’ll take two.

As you might have noticed, there’s already plenty of Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1s out in the wild by this point, but there’s apparently not quite as many as SE would like, and it’s laying the blame on some slightly mysterious manufacturing delays. According to IDG News, Sweden, Germany and the U.K. have been hardest hit by the delays, but Sony Ericsson isn’t about to get much more specific than that about the matter, saying simply that a lack of “certain materials” is causing the shortages. The company has said, however, that more phones should be shipping into Sweden in the next few days, with the U.K. and Germany set to get additional shipments in the next few weeks. It also says that planned launches in other countries like Switzerland, France, and Singapore, to name a few, won’t be affected by the delays, and that the phone is still on track to be released in the US sometime in November.
