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
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.

Further thoughts on the Great Net Tablet War between Apple, Google, and MS Its kind of an misnomer to call these new devices Tablets, but too late for that. So I will refer to them as NetTablets indicating that these devices are not the Tablet PC’s we know of now, but instead very thin Network Slates that are designed to perform most of their tasks in the cloud. … 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
Apples New $600 Tablet is more iPhone then netbook; that is why it will fail I have been a tablet (convertible) user for a long time. Recently; I bought an older TC1100 with a SSD instead of a hard drive and installed Windows 7 on it. Amazing! But that is for another post.
