Introduction Today media industries are not only confronted with an emerging convergence but are also – more and more - evolving towards digital services. Long before the television- or other media industries, the publishing industry has initiated the process of digitizing its content. It is the scope of the Me-paper research project, to investigate one specific aspect of this digitization process: What are the opportunities and consequences of mobile e-publishing technologies for the newspaper industries with regard to new formats of “news content”, “news creation” and “news production”? Within this report we give an overview of specific research and development projects using mobile electronic devices, with a specific focus on e-ink display devices (like the eReader) and Ultra Mobile PCs (UMPC). Although eReaders and UMPC devices exist since a couple of years, relatively few projects with newspapers have been set-up in the past years. The focus of current eReader devices is mainly on books instead of newspapers. This benchmarking report is divided into three concrete chapters in which different aspects related to the Me-paper research project are being discussed. In the first chapter, the transition towards e-publishing is being placed in perspective. We focus on the trend of news publishers to adapt to electronic publishing. How is the newspaper industry evolving and what is the impact of the changing media environment on newspapers? And what are the potential benefits of e-ink newspapers for the newspaper industry? In the second chapter, we look at concrete R&D projects concerning electronic publishing for newspapers on mobile devices. The main focus is on the e-ink devices, but also projects using tablet-PC’s have been taken into account, as these fit also within the project’s scope. As mentioned above and although the publishing industry and newspapers are thinking about e-publishing for a long time, at this moment almost all their efforts are still concentrating on Internet services. Although we are experiencing a totally new mobile wave, there are only few projects in which the newspaper industry experimented with newspapers on mobile. After a first screening of the e-reader landscape, an inventory of the 3 Me-paper: comparative analysis different national and international R&D projects was developed.

    Personal computer 1 Personal computer A personal computer (PC) is any general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities, and original sales price make it useful for individuals, and which is intended to be operated directly by an end user, with no intervening computer operator. This is in contrast to the batch processing or time-sharing models which allowed large expensive mainframe systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time, or large data processing systems which required a full-time staff to operate efficiently. A personal computer may be a desktop computer, a laptop, a tablet PC or a handheld PC (also called palmtop). The most common microprocessors in personal computers are x86-compatible CPUs. Software applications for personal computers include word processing, spreadsheets, databases, Web An illustration of a desktop computer browsers and e-mail clients, games, and myriad personal productivity and special-purpose software. Modern personal computers often have high-speed or dial-up connections to the Internet, allowing access to the World Wide Web and a wide range of other resources. A PC may be used at home, or may be found in an office. Personal computers can be connected to a local area network (LAN) either by a cable or a wireless connection. While early PC owners usually had to write their own programs to do anything useful with the machines, today's users have access to a wide range of commercial and non-commercial software which is provided in ready-to-run or ready-to-compile form. Since the 1980s, Microsoft and Intel have dominated much of the personal computer market with the Wintel platform.
