I must speak Nerdic because I know every one of these top 10 words… There are many time a day that I use some ‘Nerdic” words and don’t even think twice about them. I try and explain things to my wife or talk to her about a new product and all I get is that [...]
Sometimes in the crazy, wacky world of tech some stories, no matter how real, sound like April Fools Day leg pulling no matter when they come out. They could be true, they could prove not to be, but who knows. Mobile Phones more dangerous than smoking. This stoy hit the Intertubes yesterday and pops up [...]
Big exciting day today when in the middle of work, not one, but two Tablet PCs showed up at the office. I finally got home and got to unbox them. Here’s a quick look and what was in one of the boxes. Technorati Tags: April Fools >
We are proud, and a bit surprised, to announce that beginning April 1, Robert Scoble will join the GottaBeMobile.com team as a roving reporter covering mobile technology.

Starbucks announced late today that beginning tomorrow, April 1, they will no longer offer WiFi in their stores. According to a spokesman: ““We’ve discovered that there are too many customers coming in to take advantage of the wireless connectivity, who sit for hours on end and nurse only one cup of Joe. They rarely if [...]
Not many games out there are very pen-friendly. Here’s one that was not designed for the pen, but it works brilliantly. Escapa! is incredibly simple – just move the red block so that it doesn’t touch any of the moving blue blocks or the walls. That’s it, except that the blocks speed up and move [...]
Rob is on his way back from St. Louis and just sent these pictures along that lend credence to what I’ve always believed. James Kendrick and Kevin Tofel of jkOnTheRun are indeed out to take over the world. Turns out they are expanding into the retail sector.
All of you out there in GBM land, join me in wishing Rob Bushway a Happy Birthday today! As we all know Rob is the man behind all of the great things we do here at GottaBeMobile.com. He complains that he’s getting old in one breath but I think that is really his way of kidding [...]

Sung to the tune of A Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) Notebooks roasting on my open lap, Batteries just about to blow. Hard drives spinning, With no rhyme nor no reason, System hangs are causing me some woe. Everybody knows, upgrading is not the way to go, Better to just buy [...]
Well, all those dancing lessons Rob paid for must have yielded some fruit (or is that some fruitcakes.) Anyway, enjoy the GBM Staff Elves. Just click the picture for some moves you won’t see anywhere else. (It might take a second to load.) If you’re lucky, maybe we’ll show this off again in Vegas.

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.

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

The story though, just serves [...]
