The statistics-mongers at IDC have some interesting news about the last quarter of 2011. It seems that the company that redefined the tablet market and made it something people actually want dove down to a mere 54.7 percent of shipped tablets.

The Highlight Of SXSW
Every year at SXSW, a new social media platform becomes the darling of the hipster/techie set. This year, the app blowing up in Austin is Highlight, a location-based social media friend finder.

Techcitement Review: ZAGG FLEX And ZAGGfolio Keyboards
