I know the iPad2 isn’t brand new, but it is the market (re)definer. As we’ll compare many future tablets against it, it’s only fair to give it a hard look. Apple’s goal with the iPad line was to displace the netbook as your “third screen” (desktop/laptop, phone, netbook), but for it to remain a supplemental […]
This was a pretty big week for tablets, as every company under the sun seems to be rushing to exploit the market. While it may seem like their fighting for Apple’s table scraps, there are a huge number of potential tablet users out there, and everyone seems to be trying to grab them. The most […]
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 […]

Sadly, as a Sprint user, I’ve been trapped with a Revision A Palm Pre for some time now (technically, it’s a […]
While few things about HTC EVO View 4G tablet seemed revolutionary during my first look at it, the View 4G (and it’s WiFi-only equivalent, the Flyer) did have one accessory that caught my interest, the HTC Magic Pen. Last night’s gdgt event here in New York gave me a chance to give this neat little […]
Toshiba officially entered the world of Android this morning, opening pre-orders on their new Thrive tablet. In many ways, the Thrive is typical of Android tablets we’ve seen in recent months. 10.1″ HD display, Android 3.1 Honeycomb, NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor, front- and rear-facing cameras. But Toshiba has found a few ways to stand […]
They may have chosen a day when their news cycle would be stolen in a matter of hours, but Sprint has announced that two new HTC devices will be launching on their network on June 24th. The first device is the much-anticipated successor to the popular HTC EVO 4G. On the surface, the new EVO […]
