Interesting discussion going on prompted in part by Michael Gartenberg’s post on SlashGear about the Nokia Booklet 3G. He lists four reasons (style, quality, indulgence, battery life) why it is worth buying, even at a steeper price than most Netbooks. In doing so he says this about performance issues: So I’m not going to discuss [...]
I may be completely off base here, and if I am, I’m sure I’ll be corrected. That said, this post on jkOnTheRun rang some bells for me this morning. I didn’t realize that AT&T offered a voice mail transcription service for its customers. That feature of Google Voice is one of the selling points (even [...]
Netbooknews.com got some hands on video with the Entourage eDGe eBook reader. The demo captures a slightly under-informed rep walking through some of the features. Obviously it is still early but the form factor of this dual screen reader looks a bit clunky to me. That impression isn’t helped by the fact that the demo [...]

After taking some heat for “overdoing” the Dell Latitude XT multi-touch driver hostage saga, Warner opted to cut the front page pressure once some progress has been made.

Over the weekend I posted that I purchased a new computer and was going to being shifting my mobile strategy. I offered folks a chance to guess what the new computer was, and lo and behold, Rob Bushway, guessed correctly. I picked up a 13 inch MacBook Pro at a good price from Amazon.com. on [...]
Security software firm Prevx is reporting that a registry change in a recent Windows update is leading to blacked out screens that, and I quote, “could affect millions on Windows 7, Vista and XP.” Sounds a tad hyperbolic, but it’s a catchy headline, as evidenced by the number of folks who are picking up the [...]
One of the curious things about Google’s Android is that on most devices it doesn’t allow for multi-touch. Some say this is a part of some agreement with Apple, at least when it comes to multi-touch on phones, or at least a way to avoid legal hassles, since you know, Apple invented multi-touch.
