The Nextbooks 1 through 7 may not have caused much of a ripple in the Android tablet market, but eFun is keeping at it, and has now rolled out its new Nextbook Premium 8 model. There’s still no Honeycomb to be found on this one (just Android 2.3), but you do get a slightly larger 8-inch capacitive screen, as well as a Rockchip RK2918 processor, 4GB of storage, a microSD card slot, and a 2 megapixel front-facing camera — plus Kobo’s eBook Store app preloaded (though there’s no mention of Android Market). Unfortunately, in a season when you can get a Kindle Fire or Lenovo IdeaPad A1 for $200, this one will set you back a comparatively hefty $300 — then again, it does have “Premium” in its name. Press release is after the break.

As Nintendo is wont to do, a new assortment of colorful 3DS handhelds will soon be flooding the market — in Japan. Yes, it’s time once again for that tried-and-true approach of treating gamers in the company’s homeland to special edition packs. This time out, it’s the release of Capcom’s Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) G that’ll ring in the above pictured red-on-white portable, in addition to Ninty’s recently unveiled slide pad add-on . Unfortunately, interested parties’ll have to choose between the 20,800 yen (about $271) game plus console bundle, or merely opt for the hardware-less 6,990 yen (about $91) peripheral and software option — both available on December 10th. If neither of the above has your inner Big N fanboy aflutter, you can always drop 15,000 yen (about $195) on that bland Ice White version slated for October 20th. Speak Japanese? Then hit up the source links below to parse through the official pressers.
