Window Mobile 7 will not have Flash.. yet At least, this is coming from the rumor mills. I point to Gizmodo for my source.. But it makes sense to me. Getting flash to work well on your OS is not all that easy, and given how far behind window mobile keeps slipping, I would bet they dropped it (and a few other things)… Read More

I’m also sure Twitter and Facebook will get blocked as… Read More
Will Apple drop the price on the IPAD? And by how much? To no big surprise, the IPAD does not seem to be catching fire as apple had hoped and as such, price drop is already being thrown around. One mostly hears dropping the price by $50 to $75. I’m not sure that is going to be enough. In a past post, I said that perhaps $300… Read More

Whatever the apple tablet iPad or iSlate will be called, iTablet may already be taken I have not had much time for writing and this will be a really quick post, but I fell pretty sure that whatever the Apple slate or iPad will be called, it will not be the iTablet because there is already one.
