My wife and I worked for a couple of hours from home before jumping in the car to drive down to Palo Alto, where she works and I have a couple of meetings. She didn’t miss a beat of her work day as we drove from San Francisco down to Silicon Valley. She was multi-tasking [...]
Blogger and tech consultant Mahmoud Ibrahim has posted what I can only hope is an incomplete promo video for Windows Phone 7 Series. Though some questionable content has been spotted, I find it quite pleasant and effective, or rather it would be effective if not for one glaring omission.
Smartphones are every increasing in numbers day by day. How many people even use “normal” cell phones anymore? More than likely they have one because they can’t decide between an iPhone or an Android phone..or maybe a Blackberry…or maybe its because they can’t afford the data plan..yet. Smartphones are here to stay. To show what [...]
I suppose I could put a positive spin on that headline as others have done, but frankly, I already figured that cut/copy/paste was coming to Windows Phone 7 Series after lacking it initially, so all I see now is confirmation of that in a report from Long Zheng at istartedsomething.
Well, that didn’t take long. Details for Windows Phone 7 Series aren’t fully revealed yet, but already there’s someone thinking about running it on a slate tablet. Looks pretty slick. However, given what we know, it’s something we won’t be seeing, at least for a while.
Just the other day we learned that the Nexus One was going to be made available for the AT&T and Canada’s Rogers networks. Now it appears that Sprint customers will also be able to pick up a Nexus One for themselves. This pretty much makes a clean sweep of the networks here in the USA [...]
Amazon has finally released it Kindle for the Mac app, doing so quietly last night. Similar to the Windows version this looks very bare bones and it is labeled as Beta. It’s missing a few features like being able to take notes, but you do get to view the covers of books in color. You [...]
If you’re someone who wishes you had MacBook-like scrolling on your Windows machine’s trackpad, this hack might be for you. Lifehacker has put it all together for you and let’s you know upfront that you won’t get all the pinch to zoom or rotation gestures, but you will be able to scroll from your trackpad, [...]
According to an iLounge report, Apple is getting rid of protective screen films from its retail and online stores. There’s no clear reason why Apple’s doing this. Film protectors are some of the most popular accessories at the Apple store, and something that Apple’s own retail reps always seem to push. According to one company [...]
When it rains it pours. I haven’t had much time to do many device reviews lately and not that the time issue has changed much, but it looks like I’ve got my hands full in the immediate future. Lenovo has just sent three devices for us to check out. The Lenovo X201T Tablet PC, the [...]
Android smartphones are becoming more and more prevalent as the new “IT” device for consumers. These days, you see either a Blackberry, an iPhone, or an Android phone. It is picking up momentum every day. While the devices are going quick, so is development in the Android Market. From a post over at Tech Crunch: [...]

I’ve been searching and searching for proof that someone pre-ordered a JooJoo Tablet. Thanks to Gizmodo it turns out at least three people have. Unfortunately (for FusionGarage) the proof comes in the form of a complaints in trying to solve refund requests for customers who have changed their mind. If you recall, to pre-order a [...]
Intel’s Kapil Wadhera was kind enough to get on camera and walk me through the second generation convertible Classmate PC. There are some significant improvements that will hopefully move more schools away from the clamshell Classmate PC and towards the convertible. Having the inking and touch capabilities in the classroom makes a heck of a [...]
Word circling ’round the Internet is that Windows Phone 7 Series is going to be running with several of the same limits that have shackled the iPhone, namely lack of cut/copy/paste and running multiple third-party apps, not to mention lack of removable storage and a centralized app store. It’s almost as if they want to [...]
While I am an avid Evernote user, very few of my notes are actually produced in the app or web app. Rather, most of my notes get shot in via email. Only problem with that was the notes only went to the default notebook and could not be tagged. Well, they’ve fixed that.
In an interesting spin on the usual SD card USB adapter, AirStash steps it up a notch with wifi connectivity and a web interface to turn your cards into mobile wireless file servers that can share photos, stream music and video, and show just about any content your device can handle.
The folks at TabletMod.com have a great URL, but they might be pushing the definition of “DIY” to the edge with their DIY Cintiq proposal. They supply an acrylic enclosure to house your homemade Cintiq and you supply the LCD and fully assembled digitizer to build your own pen input display.
Engadget is reporting that the Nexus One is now available without contract for those who use the AT&T and Canada’s Rogers Network. Interesting that this comes on a day where Silicon Alley Insider is saying that the Nexus One is a Flop due to lack of sales. Supposedly Google has only sold 135,000 devices since [...]
Our friend KT Bradford from Laptop Mag posted a video walkthrough of the Alex eReader and compared it to the Nook eReader. Spring Designs won a Best of Show award from Laptop Mag at CES 2010 for the Alex eReader and KT told me that she’s very excited about the device. As Amy pointed out [...]
While at CES 2010, a few of us were looking for something “out of the ordinary”, something that was tech related, but not necessarily a new gadget. We wanted something that was a good idea, but not overly recognized by the gadget loving public. We found it in the form of Corning’s Gorilla Glass. Corning [...]
After all the delays that the Spring Design Alex e-reader has gone through, its finally time to pre-order! To recap, the Spring Design Alex e-reader was a favorite at CES 2010. Its a dual screen e-reader running on Android. One screen is color and is used for the menu and controls. The other screen is [...]
When I saw this post over at The Register this morning, I couldn’t help but laugh, then sigh and shrug my shoulders: If you’re an Apple fanboi with $19,999 burning a hole in your pocket, why not spend it onThe World’s First Diamond iPad? Doing so would greatly please John Mervis, Digital Strategist for Mervis Diamond [...]
Samsung was one of the companies that went whole hog into the original UMPC scene and actually gave it a valiant effort. They’ve also come up with some of the most solid Netbooks since that scene exploded. Now it looks like Samsung is going to jump on the Tablet/Slate bandwagon. According to a report at [...]
Uh, oh! The Easter Bunny is not a happy camper. It seems the date that iPads become available (April 3) is the day before Easter. This has thrown a wrench in the Easter Bunny’s plans and, well, check out what the Easter Bunny has to say to Mr. Jobs and Apple.
Dan Cohen from GearDiary talked to Alex Kac, the founder of WebIS about how his company plans on bringing Pocket Informant, one of Dan’s favorite iPhone applications, to the iPad. Kac was quick to point out that the company’s not in a rush to build an iPad-specific application, but will instead refine its Pocket Informant [...]
Been procrastinating with upgrading Firefox to 3.6. Seems I should have gotten on it right away because it’s got support for the Tablet PC floating TIP baked right in.
With all the buzz over iPad pre-sales figures (120,000-150,000), I decided to check it against last year’s Tablet PC figures. Turning out to be more problematic than I thought.
We may still be some time from Microsoft and partners bringing Windows Phone 7 Series bringing phones to market, but that doesn’t stop the news from coming out about the new platform. Microsoft is revealing some of its app launch partners and for the most part the names are pretty familiar. Here are some of [...]
Google has hired Tim Bray, the co-founder of XML and a notable tech blogger and given him the title of Developer Advocate as he begins work with the Android team. They might as well have just called him “hell-raiser” for the salvo he unleashed in the announcement of his hiring. Here’s what he had to [...]

T-Mobile is not usually the carrier one talks about when it comes to updating their networks. T-Mobile was one of the last to upgrade to 3G from their EDGE service. Well, it was better late than never. As a loyal T-Mobile customer (I have been with them since they were Voicestream over 8+ years ago), [...]
Ok, so the iPad sold 120,000 in its first day…but now the momentum is starting to slow down. This sounds about right for a new Apple product. Its a feast, then famine, then feast once its released. Speaking of the iPad release, there are two pieces of information any new iPad users should know about. [...]
Coming out of CeBit one of the Tablets that caught my eye was the Hanvon BC10C. Actually there were two Tablets from Hanvon. The BA10E is the one with what looks like possible good Inking potential, but we’ll have to wait and see on that one. While we’re waiting, jkkmobile got his hands on the [...]

The Next Nexus: What It Needs to Stay Ahead of the Pack
Late last year, Google and Samsung released the third rendition of the Nexus smartphone. The first of course was the HTC-made Nexus One which arrived in 2010 to great fan fare. Then, in late part of 2010, the Samsung-made Nexus S launched which eventually became available in two variants, the regular Nexus S and the [...]
Nokia Responds to Alleged 3-Inch ‘Tablet’ Leaks
When Nokia took the stage in New York City with carrier partner T-Mobile USA, various news outlets were reporting that Nokia was either working on a 3-inch tablet or media player. Right now, the company says that the information that was reported earlier was all a misunderstanding by various hopeful blogs. The device that was [...]
