THE US Federal Reserve has announced a bold plan to try to invigorate the economy by buying $US600 billion ($601.93 billion) more in Treasury bonds.

They’re the two newest devices from the lairs at Creative, and the folks over at PCPro were able to spend a few quality minutes with both the 7- and 10-inch ZiiO slates . They noted that the ZiiLabs ZMS-08 processor managed to handle the Android 2.1 load quite well, and while they definitely would’ve preferred a capacitive, multitouch display, they… managed without one.
