There seems to be mass confusion as to how an “alternative” iPad Touchscreen Tablet will do. Part of this perception is based on the “success” of the Android OS. If you simply use market share as an objective, then Android can be called a success. Never mind that Google makes very little return since it’s [...]

Of course, the great thing about the iPhone is after your contract is up, you can simply turn on WIFI and AIRPLANE mode and you have a “free” iPod Touch that plays any video, any music and any app but if you decide to pass it on or re-sell it, here’s how to clean and [...]

Too often now, the reviews for Android phones tend to be very superficial – they play with a pre-loaded review phone for a few hours, they tap a few screens, an app loads, they cue up a movie already on the phone, they surf a few sites, etc, etc… and call it an “iPhone killer.” [...]

Some aspects of the story seem lost in the haze of what really happened because somewhere along the line we’re all presuming Gizmodo is telling the truth – the whole truth but O RLY?

The New Yorker recently ran a piece that proves why in court, you need to the whole truth and not just part of truth.

The recent iTunes App “banning” of salacious-sexual content apps makes sense on one level. It is understandable as these titles would randomly appear throughout the store in games & entertainment and it’s understandable you don’t want clients, or your kids stumbling across it …  or even if you’re showing off the iTunes store, it might [...]

Many people seem to be confused about why netbooks exist and because they are selling well, they think it’s because of just random pent up consumer demand for “fully-featured” functionality at an “extreme” portability form factor. This is not true because there is ONLY ONE factor that sells netbooks. PRICE. Of the dozens-hundreds of PC [...]

Yes, we do not need a tablet. Yes, some people need a tablet and their needs are mostly being served – whether it’s a niche market or for artists who want to draw with a stylus – they need a tablet but NOT the one Apple is presumably delivering in 2010. Yes, a flat personal [...]

The problem with most newspaper technology writers and even many technology “analysts” is they briefly read the AP Headlines before scribbling out some output to earn a paycheck … the reality is why many newspapers are failing both financially and their readers – they don’t bother doing any investigative work or any kind – they’ll [...]
