Yesterday, I noted that HP’s Touchpad tablet was going on sale for the weekend. Today I wake up to see that internet retailer Woot.com has beaten Staples and HP’s $100 off by pricing the Touchpad at $379.99. For those unfamiliar with Woot, they’re one of the first of the deal-a-day sites. Bought out by Amazon […]
Lots of drips and drabs in the world of tablets this week. RIM’s updates, Toshiba bugs, iPads sales, big news from Lenovo, and an amazing tablet deal at Staples.
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 […]
I love HP’s WebOS. I love the smooth multitasking, the great apps, the PIM solutions, the card metaphor, and pretty much everything else.

While many manufacturers are bringing touch to their desktops for the first […]
I know, screen protectors are a pretty basic accessory, and hardly seems like something to get techcited about. Frankly, most of the ones I’ve tried have been junk. Add to that the fact that my main phone is a Palm Pre (stop pointing and laughing! It’ll take over any day now.), there are few screen […]
After months of speculation about what, exactly, “Early Summer” means, HP has announced that their WebOS tablet will be out July 1st. With $499 for a 16 GB model and $599 for a 32 GB model, prices are right up there with Apple’s iPad2, the market leader/trend-setter. The question is – does anyone still care? […]
