Most Kindle users would rather have an iPad

I’ve been using tablets for years.. Years!  So when the Kindle first came out, my first reaction was, meh.  Partly because of the price point, and partly because I knew that something that focused on text and ignored rich media was simply too one dimensional of a device.  I have friends that have kindles, and… Read More

iPad ready on April 3, but will the crowds?

The hype pad, or iPad as its called, is ready for purchase on April 3.  I do not expect the madness that the first iPhone created, more like when the 3gs came out.  I think you will have some overnightsers and I would expect a good set of lines on the first day since April… Read More

iPhone as an OS? Maybe, but not widely

There is no question that the iPhone has been an amazing success and only its At&T appendage has slowed it down from even further adoption. As great as the hardware is, just as much if not more of the credit has to go to the OS. Even after 2 years the iPhone OS is still… Read More

£25 iPhone? Nope, a SciPhone rebranded, but still…

What if you were in a bar, and someone showed you an iPhone and said it was only 25 pounds?  AND then the things actually worked?? As well as common IPhone apps?  Well, clearly its a rip off copy, but still.. the things was working!!  And running Java on top of that?  Well according to… Read More

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

D&D on a touch table! This is not your Dads D&D!

So sweet.  I saw this a few days ago on CrunchGear but have only had time to write about it now.. WAYY back in the day, when I was a young’in, I played D&D.  Yes I admit it. Course’, at the same time, I was just starting to learn guitar, and when I found I… Read More

Why Im not going to buy the Apple iPad. Yet

The apple iPad is finally out. And it’s pretty much what we expected; a really big and hyper powered iPhone/iPod.  Anyway, all in all, that’s ok. So why am I not buying one? Well it’s because I already have an iPhone. Now, if I was a big iPhone game player, we would be having a… Read More

We have netTablets, Gtablets, iSlates and now SmartBooks?

We can all tell #CES is coming (here) because of the flurry of #netTablets, #iSlates, #SmartBooks or whatever we are going to call it is hitting the interwebs.  Today I got a message from gdgt on a new class of laptop.  Called the Lenovo Skylight, its beyond the netbook in that it uses a 1… Read More

The Camangi Android Slate (Tablet) hits the scene

This is not a full review of the Camangi since I do not have it in my hands, but this is a perfect example, of the slew of Android Slates that I expect to see coming out this year.  This slate is listed at $400 bucks, and based on the specs, its basically a big… Read More

Apples iSlate and the Googles Gslate appear. #slatewar

The great (slate) Tablet war moves to the next stage as expected.  The first player on the scene the JooJoo, which used to be known as the CrunchPad, was the first to enter the battleground.  I expect to see it again this coming week at the #CES show in Las Vegas, but already they are… Read More

First look at the CrunchPad, Now JooJoo #TabletWars

Yes, as of 9:30 am PST, we have entered the net tablet war.  And who knew the first battle would be an internal one?  As I’m sure you have already heard, Arrington’s idea of a simple, cheap couch computer, christened the ‘CrunchPad’, now called the JooJoo was shown to the press in SF and via… Read More

The CrunchPad tablet is dead. Mark victom 1 in the great tablet war.

When I called the beginning of the tablet war in Aug, (tablet war postings) I fully expected that we would see 2 early players out the gate, TechCrunches ‘Crunch Pad’ and some sort of Android tablet, to be followed by Apple then MicroSoft. In face, I expected that Arrington would be sitting back with a… Read More

iPhone drink coasters. Finally a place for your beer while geeking.

I just came across this site via @chrispirillo and cannot find out much about it, but love the idea.  Drink coasters in the shape of iphone apps. Wondering what to get that Apple/iPhone geek who has everything for the holidays, well here you go. The site is ‘powered by google’ so I cannot find out… Read More

A new a intuitive Interface from Emblaze. Very Interesting

I like this.  As soon as I saw the first frame on the video on the new “Else Intuition” interface I understood what this new concept was about and how much sense it makes.  If you are using your device with one hand, which happens A LOT, it only makes sense to use the general… Read More

Full Color Beautiful Comics on the Apple and other Tablets

I did not even think about this till I saw the article in Gizmodo. The Kindle was a device I was never really convinced about and when the tablet war started, I know they all be winners on the ebook front.  Well, think about this.  Full color comics!  yea, just like in the newspapers and… Read More

A challenger appears. MS enters the tablet war with Courier.

We all know about Apples ‘Rumored’ tablet and the Archos Android Tablet, and even TechCrunch has one.  Well, a new rumor from Gizmodo (images and video) has hit the interwebs.  MicroSoft has a new tablet!  Now this seems like a lot of vaperware, but assuming it runs Onenote, it could be pretty cool. I like… Read More
