Samsung’s been going a bit mad with the tablets, and we love them for it. Not content to have a 10”and a 7”, they’ve also introduced a 8.9” tablet, also known as the Portfolio. Slightly bigger than the Tab 7” and sporting Android Honeycomb instead of Gingerbread, the Portfolio also has something the Samsung Galaxy […]
Here’s a bit of news that absolutely fits our site’s mandate: HP has updated the end-of-lifed TouchPad’s version of webOS to 3.0.4. There are some nice little tweaks (support for OGG files, a camera app at last, and performance boosts), but the main thing I can’t wait to try is the phone pairing. Originally, you […]
[yframe url=’http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kdHgEeE1HQ’] Samsung’s offering at CTIA 2011 was, shall we say, slightly less exciting than it was supposed to be. You could kind of tell that from the display booth they had. It was large, but felt like it was missing something. That said, Samsung didn’t come to the show empty handed. It’s not like […]
Receiving review units is always a bit of a thrill, but sometimes there can be a catch. Case in point, the Cocoon Grid-It. This is a unique accessory, but the snag was that I didn’t have the device it was meant for. This particular unit holds a Macbook Air. However, I soon discovered it […]
Amazon is poised on the brink on making a tremendous impact to the world of tablets. No tablet manufacturer has yet managed to create a product with a cohesive ecosystem, aggressive marketing, and fluidity of operation of the iPad.

Tablet watching is turning into a really fun hobby, because there’s just so much going on. As vendors gear up for the holiday shopping season, we’re seeing this particular market segment heat up even more. Take the constantly-delayed Asus Slider, which will allegedly be here by the end of the month. The unique form factor […]
Hey look, a tablet post that isn’t about a TouchPad — it must be Thursday. In fact, it’s also IFA, which means the device announcements are coming faster than I can keep track. Things kicked off with Sony officially branding their new tablets, with the codenamed S-1 becoming the S, and the very cool S-2 […]
The End-of-Lifed HP TouchPad has proven to be insanely popular. So much so that it turns out HP will be re-starting production for a limited run. The really crazy bit is that if they price these at the existing firesale price of $99 for a 16 GB TouchPad, then HP loses close to$200 a system. […]
In the aftermath of HP’s liquidation of their WebOS powered TouchPad, a new initiative has begun to bring alternate operating systems to the shiny new hardware. While efforts to bring Linux flavors such as Ubuntu to the TouchPad already existed, the folks over at hacknmod.com have put together a $1500 bounty to anyone that manages to […]
In the wake of HP’s announcement last week that they were discontinuing WebOS hardware, the tech world has been quick to pronounce the death of the late Palm’s mobile platform.
