On The Cheap is a feature where we investigate low-cost solutions to staying high tech. It comes out every two weeks. Like a Paycheck. Aren’t we clever? Would you like to own an iPad2 for less than $105? Caught your attention there? If you’re the sort of person who gets techcited, then you either hate […]
HP has sure as heck had a busy week. The Touchpad, not even two weeks old, has been taking a bit of a hit from reviewers for essentially not being a good enough response to the iPad2 (which makes sense, as it was a response to the original iPad). On Monday, the senior VP of […]
Click here to read Part I. Can a tablet be used to replace a netbook? As a regular netbook user (specifically an Acer Aspire One), my proposed experiment was to try and spend a week using a Viewsonic G-Tablet (chosen because it’s roughly the same price as the Acer) running Android instead . Now that […]
I love HP’s WebOS. I love the smooth multitasking, the great apps, the PIM solutions, the card metaphor, and pretty much everything else. It’s easy for me to talk for hours about how great the platform is and how it deserves wider attention. I can pontificate about having actual access to my filesystem and being […]
Mobile cloud music is a highly competitive arena these days, and some of the biggest players in mobile and music have entered the game. Even a few surprising entries are trying to build a business in the newest entertainment space. Amazon made a big splash when they launched their cloud player with virtually no warning, […]
The ultra portable computer market sure has been heating up lately! It seems like only yesterday Asus debuted the first commercially successful netbook, the EEE PC, and with it created a new fad of inexpensive and super portable laptop alternatives. Two years after that, Apple unveiled the iPad. Following the success of the iPhone, the iPad is […]
It’s official. If you’re one of the few but proud Windows Phone 7 users, you can now download and play the current game du jour, Angry Birds. Sure, this doesn’t seem like news but as I note in the headline, this now leaves only one mobile OS that doesn’t run Angry Birds. For goodness sake, […]
As I’ve likely noted elsewhere and repeatedly, I’m a huge WebOS fan. No offense to any of the other great mobile operating systems out there, but HP’s mobile OS really comes through for me. Sadly, as a Sprint user, I’ve been trapped with a Revision A Palm Pre for some time now (technically, it’s a […]
I was honestly surprised to see Toshiba’s upcoming tablet, the Thrive, at Pepcom’s Digital Experience. To be honest, I’d forgotten it was announced. Now that I’ve handled it, I can’t get it out of my head. The Thrive (release date unknown) looks like a typical 10.1″ tablet. Running a mostly virgin copy of Android Honeycomb […]
Techcitement recently questioned the relevance of RIM these days, and we’re not the only ones. RIM’s last quarterly earnings were quite lower than expected, and their stock dipped significantly. Although it appears to be climbing slowly now (but still not anywhere near past prices), maybe because the lower stock is a good deal – I’m […]
