The Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 looks like it’s a good travel buddy for slates or netbooks with cramped keyboards. Darren Murph from Engadget reviewed the thin keyboard and had a lot of good things to say about it. Unlike most mobile keyboards, this one has a slight curve to it. The curve allows typists’ [...]
Though they don’t frequently see the light of day, I love the ideas coming out of Yanko Design. Their latest vision is a tablet design called the “HTC Evolve”. Why they’re tying it to a particular vendor is unclear. There’s no mention if HTC commissioned it or has any other involvement with it. The proposed [...]
James Kendrick lays out a very reasoned and logical post on why he thinks we’ll see a Google Tablet next year. Of course that kind of reasoning/speculation/wishing/hoping is what fuels the biz these days. I can’t disagree with anything he says because from what we know today it all makes sense. Essentially, JK is saying [...]
tnkgirl spent a few minutes with the Google Nexus One and squeezed as much info out of that time as she could, including confirming that its current 3G hardware only works with T-Mobile (at least in the States) and there’s still no multi-touch support in the browser or Google maps (odd). Also reported to have [...]
Chippy, like most who have an interest in the Archos 9 Internet Tablet, was getting anxious to see this device in his hands. Now that he has, he’s sharing his unboxing and early impressions on video for all to see. I don’t know if his eventual review of this will surpass his encyclopedic review of [...]
Tablet mania is all the rage as we anticipate tablets from just about every quarter. This of course doesn’t mean that every tablet or purported tablet or mythical tablet that does make it to market will be a success or have a successful launch. SlashGear is pointing us to a Tablet from Notion Ink that [...]

TechCrunch is floating a rumor that Google is not simply working with PC makers to get Chrome OS on to netbooks, but actually working on their own branded netbook as well. It is similar to what people are saying about Android and the presumed Google phone. Very exciting stuff. If it all pans out, I [...]
Are your fingertips cold? If so, you may want to press them against Hot Virtual Keyboard, which now supports multi-touch input in Windows 7. Though they make no claims of warming properties, everyone loves feeling the warm glow of an LCD on a cold winter day. What, no? Just me? Fine. Regardless, thanks to multi-touch, [...]
Nothing like realizing that the thing that made you can turn on you and bite back. Dan Lyons, who parades around the Internet as Fake Steve Jobs realized that once you unleash something on the Internet, even in jest, it can quickly get out of control. Such was the case with his supposedly satirical call [...]
I’m spending some time in Richmond because my mother is unfortunately seriously ill. I came down to Richmond yesterday to give my youngest sister some time off as it was her birthday. As a birthday present her husband gave her a Verizon Droid, which she says she likes quite a bit. She’s had it for [...]

Ha! Got this txt msg from AT&T today. Apparently they’re adding a new cell site in the next town over (or what would be a next town over if my area was incorporated as a town). Great location, actually. Lot of tall trees and hills really mess with reception. But as this is the first [...]
Microsoft Surface blog has posted that second part of their interview with the SurfaceScapes team, along with a new video demo of the project in action. The video is a bit, shall we say, dry, but anyone interested in the thought process behind the system should find it educational. I found this line from the [...]
Hard to believe it’s been five years since ArtRage won Microsoft’s “Think in Ink” contest for offering a fantastic digital emulation of painting a canvas on a Tablet PC. In that time, Ambient Design has continued to refine and improve their winner and has just released their most advanced version yet: ArtRage 3 available in [...]

Well, we’ve been chasing this ever since the OLPC project announced their $100 laptop that turned out to be $200, and now thanks to low-cost, green computing specialist Cherrypal, there finally is a netbook that breaks the $100 barrier without subsidies. I’m so happy, I could sing…

Everybody into the pool! Borders has jumped into the eBook wars by partnering up with Kobo, a spinoff from Indigo Books & Music, a Canadian publishing company. And yes, they are planning an eBook reading device, along with applications that allow readers to access books via the most popular smartphones initially offering 1.8 million free [...]
Everybody likes a good fight. Especially when it involves music. Indaba Music is challenging its users to create some remixed ring tones using iPhone and Droid ring tones in what they are calling Phone Wars. There are quite a few interesting (and some not very interesting) mixes already created and you can hear them here. [...]
CNet’s Ina Fried went hands on with the intriguing dual screen Entourage eDGe eBook Reader and put up some video of her experience. She says it is still a bit rough around the edges given that she’s looking at a pre-production unit of a version 1 product. According to Fried the company’s goal for the [...]
This is making a lot of Android users happy today. Evernote, the app that wants to be your brain when it comes to remembering things, has been released. You can get it for your Android phone here. I’m currently not an Android user so I can’t check this out, but I know Rob Bushway has [...]
Microsoft has released, and Apple has approved, a Bing App for the iPhone. Yes, it is all about search and finding things, and at a quick first look, it is quite impressive. You can use voice to enter search data or type in what you’re looking for. On the home screen you have six buttons [...]
While some lucky early users really like the Barnes & Noble Nook and some aren’t quite as enthused about this V1.0 device, this will I’m sure catch quite a bit of attention. Some developers on the nookDevs forum have reportedly discovered a hack to turn the eBook reader into a web tablet with free 3G [...]
If you’re a fan of TechSmith’s excellent screen capture utility for Windows, SnagIt, and you work on a Mac, this will be good news for you. TechSmith has just released a Beta of SnagIt for the Mac. The Beta is free but keep in mind it is still Beta so things might be a bit [...]
If there’s one thing that keeps me from buying into the hype surrounding so-called “iPhone killers”, it’s their lack of iTunes alternatives. The iPhone, for all it does, is not a standalone device. It’s built solidly on the iTunes foundation, same as the iPod. Trying to “kill” the iPhone without challenging its underlying foundation is [...]
I’m not one to get overly excited by sheer volume of numbers in app stores. If you’re not using thousands of apps it really makes no difference. And face it no one is ever going to be using thousands of apps. Quality and usefulness are much better gauges. That said, the Android Market is trumpeting [...]
Tableteers, like Geeks of all stripes, love to see gadgets and gear under the Christmas Tree or in their stocking. Of course a new Tablet will certainly endear you to any Tableteer (or would be Tableteer) out there. But there is a range of gift ideas that don’t involve purchasing a Tablet that can brighten [...]
This might turn into a piffle, or it could get ugly. I guess we’ll find out this Friday. Dan Lyons, who pens the satirical blog, The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs, is using his nom-de-plume of Fake Steve Jobs to advocate Digital Disobedience to show AT&T a thing or two. After writing a scathingly funny [...]
Interesting article from the Washington Post that says we’re losing our view of the natural world around us by focusing on our small screens so much that we miss what’s around us. Are we becoming “digital zombies?” Perhaps that’s just a new twist on the old maxim, “stop and smell the roses.” Or is it [...]

Taking a look at Warner’s scores for his 2009 predictions prompted me to review and grade my own thoughts regarding what I thought would happen throughout this past year. Read below to examine what I thought 2009 would hold in the tech world. Here were my predictions and what actually happened. Check below to see [...]
Despite being a mobile computing enthusiast, spare batteries and external battery packs have never played a role in my gadget arsenal. My first Tablet PC, an Electrovaya SC500, packed a 12-hour, 140 Whr battery, and now I rarely need more than a couple hours of battery life at a time. Not being chatty, I don’t [...]
Fresh Apple Tablet rumor, s’il vous plaît? In an impressive feat of fakery, French blog Nowhere Else has posted a video of a real tablet device that supposedly is the mythic Apple tablet. Certainly its physical design mirrors that of a larger, wider iPhone, but it could just as easily be the 7″ version of [...]
