I have been racking my brain over the idea of buying an e-reader for myself. I am going overseas for 2 1/2 weeks via cruise ship and I dont relish the idea of bring books in my suitcase. My suitcase may be on wheels, but its still heavy– and when you add books…Oy. It also [...]
I was taking a look at our stats today and before you say it, yes this is somewhat anecdotal and depends on more than just who views what post. That said, while we’re seeing a spike in traffic due to all the iPad coverage, several posts of late about the HP Slate and links to [...]
The hits just keep on coming from comedians in every corner. Steve Colbert had his take on the iPad and Salsa. Yeah, salsa, and he proves you don’t need an app for that, but you probably need a good cleaning cloth. What’s funny is that he doesn’t have to use the cliche to make the [...]
Why do I think that David Letterman’s reactions to the iPad won’t be all that different from a lot of others. Funny stuff. “You’re not buying an unnecessary electronic device, you’re buying a family.” You need to watch the video to get the context. Via 9to5Mac
Well, whadda ya know? Engadget has its hands on a JooJoo Tablet and I don’t think this is an April Fools joke. They have pumped out some unboxing pictures. I guess we know where at least one of the 90 units shipped ended up. I love how they are a bit busy this week (I [...]
For those who absolutely want to hear some other kind of Tablet/slate/eBook news other than the iPad, here’s one for you. CrunchGear has posted a review of the enTourage eDGe dual screen device that “defies classification” with its eInk screen opposite its Android powered Netbook. This device is one that many have their eyes on [...]
Only a handful of reviewers have their hands on iPads, but Apple apparently has flipped the switch on the App Store for iPad apps, making them available for purchase. (the link takes you to iTunes.) Yes, prices are indeed higher, although you’ll see a few free apps and a few for $.99. I notice that [...]
I’m going to caveat this post by saying it is April Fools Day. That said, I don’t think this info qualifies as a prank, but I would qualify it as a rumor. According to SlashGear, there is word that NVidia is having some difficulty with its Tegra chipsets and this is going to force a [...]
My wife and I have been fortunate to visit my brother-in-law in Mountain View, California, this week. Part of the agreement my wife and I made while out this way was that we each had one full day to plan whatever events we wanted. I was not surprised when my wife decided that that we [...]
If you want to get in on the big iPad money, now is the time to strike. At least I’m guessing that’s what eBayer Harry.Balsac thought when he listed his “RARE IPAD PROTOTYPE – WIFI 3G GPS!!1!11!!”
It is always a good idea to be skeptical on April Fools Day, especially on the web. We’ve avoided (so far) April Fools Day silliness hear at GBM, but the rest of the web has been having its usual love/hate relationship with silly pranks and elaborate mischief. Google, as usual led the way, among other [...]
Yes, the moment Verizon Droid users have been waiting for has arrived, the update to Android version 2.1 is now available. What is in this new update? Per a post over at JKontheRun: Enhancements: Pinch-to-zoom is now available when using the browser, Gallery, and Google Maps. New Weather and News application plus widget. − The [...]
In news that has NOTHING to do with the iPad, the folks over at Netbooknews have a new video up about the HP Slate. We have already posted information about the HP Slate, but here is a great video showing off more of its capabilities. The big news, it runs Adobe Flash and AIR, something [...]
OneNote fans who might have their eye on the iPad have friends in the developers of MobileNoter. MobileNoter is an app that lets you sync you OneNote notes to the iPhone and the developers are prepping for the iPad. They’ve submitted an updated app,which has been approved, that optimizes MobileNoter for the iPad’s screen resolution. [...]
Ok, we are all iPad crazy. The first reviews are out. The media is in a frenzy. Apple fanboys are frothing at the mouth. Tech pundits are waiting to get snarky about them. Consumers will be waiting in line for them. A lot has been said about their usage. Its going to be the ultimate [...]
Well, I guess it’s not really “stealing” if you dropped a whole lot of money on product placement, which I’m sure Apple did in order to make the iPad the center of attention on ABC’s Modern Family last night.
Everyone has said all along that the iPad is a media consumption device. The pre-roll out hype has focused as much on what media relationships Apple will develop as much as it has on the device. Word out overnight is that ABC and CBS are prepping some of their TV shows to be viewed on [...]

Last year Toshiba waded into the Android tablet market with the Thrive, a 10.1-inch slate that served as the company’s response to what they deemed missing in the then current crop. Thus, it had several full-size ports, a rugged-ish exterior, and a thick chassis to accommodate both. Though a decent tablet, the Thrive didn’t generate [...]

That doesn’t mean that Samsung is shying away [...]
