Lenovo’s ThinkPad Tablet manages to bring a few different things to the party, and this pleases me greatly, as seen in this video. [yframe url=’http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGBt8q4uhaQ’] The ThinkPad Tablet may not be the thinnest or most eye-catching tablet out there.

Did Sprint Lose The LG Marquee?
UPDATE TO THIS ARTICLE HERE. The LG Marquee, a new budget smartphone from Sprint (and one that we recently wrote about), has suddenly gone missing from their website without warning this week.

Video: HP’s Folio 13 Ultrabook Deserves Your Attention
Intel’s new Ultrabook class initiative is heating up. If the last Consumer Electronics Show (CES) was all about tablets, expect this one to be all about Ultrabooks.

The Samsung Focus Flash is the low-end sequel to Samsung’s original Windows Phone 7, the Focus. Running Windows Mobile 7.5 a.k.a.

Barnes & Nobles’s NOOK Tablet Driving Consumers Into A Corner
In a post-Fire world, even the smallest differences can push the average consumer into a decision between Amazon’s Kindle Fire and Barnes and Noble’s NOOK Tablet.

Google’s Native American Gmail App
There’s an official native Gmail app for iOS! What’s that? It came out already? And they pulled it down after less than a day because it was so buggy? Oh, well, it’s available again! But only in the US app store. This time, it seems to be working correctly and it’s pretty slick. However, it’s still […]
Don’t Hate The Samsung Galaxy Player, Hate The Game
Electronics giant Samsung keeps pumping out devices. This time we’re looking at the Samsung Galaxy Player. As you might guess from the name, the Galaxy Player is not actually a phone. Instead, it’s a personal media player (PMP). Why would you want a separate dedicated PMP when odds are you already have a smartphone, you […]

An iPad In (Almost) Every Classroom
“What can an iPad do for my classroom and students?” In the past three months, approximately 9,300 Teach for America corps members have claimed a free, refurbished, first-generation iPad for use in their classroom in an attempt to answer that question.

Comic Chaos Strikes The Tablet Universe
Amazon’s highly anticipated Kindle Fire begins shipping this week, and that means discussion in the tech world can turn to only one thing: comic books. Fine, maybe not just one thing, but Amazon has already dramatically changed the landscape of the comic book industry without even shipping its outrageously low-priced tablet. The Fire was announced […]
