It’s easy to sit here and make lots of jokes about HP and their recent drama. The musical CEOs, the abortive interest in selling off their hardware division, and especially their roller coaster ride with webOS. It’s also easy to be upset about their constant failure to make a go of a solid, well-respected operating […]
Thanks to hackers, the Nook Color has long been an unofficial tablet. Now Engadget has discovered that Barnes & Noble plans on making it official by releasing the Nook Tablet on November 16. You can snag something that looks a lot like a Nook Color, but is lighter, has twice the memory, and won’t need […]
Welcome back to the Tablet Thursday digest! HP has surprised everyone by updating a tablet — just not the one anyone is interested in. HP is replacing their business-oriented Slate 500 with the Slate 2. Sporting the same Intel Atom chip found in most netbooks, the Slate 2 also rocks a 32 GB Solid State […]
Two stories regarding the Apple App store caught our eyes this morning. Comic book news site Bleedingcool reports that the recently released Complete Tintin App, selling for a mere $5, is nothing of the sort. Instead, it’s allegedly an unofficial app, and the copies are pirated scans. With the Steven Moffat-penned movie due out soon, […]
This just in: new wireless carrier Republic Wireless will launch a $20 “all-you-can-eat” unlimited plan on November 8. How are they undercutting on price? Instead of being purely wireless, they’ll use Android-powered handsets that use WiFi networks when available instead of cell networks. Some providers have experimented with such solutions before (T-Mobile and AT&T come […]
It’s hard to imagine a better time for smartphone buyers. With last week’s announcements of the new RAZR and Galaxy Nexus as well as Apple’s iPhone 4S burning up sales records, you can pretty much be sure of a powerful, robust phone on any network. Except, what if you don’t want to wait for the […]
Darnit Nokia, we were rooting for you! Unless you’ve been sleeping under a rock (in which case, ouch) , you picked up on Nokia’s announcement of their first Windows Mobile phones, the Lumia 800 and 710. The 800 manages to look a lot like the previous Nokia flagship, the Meego sporting N9. It’s actually .2 […]
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 […]
My friend S (not his real name, obviously) decided to take advantage of the excellent price drop on the iPhone 4 and pick one up. Except when he told me this he prefaced it with “Now don’t be upset but…” This isn’t the first time something like this has happened and I’m always amused by […]
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 […]
