Yesterday, I noted that HP’s Touchpad tablet was going on sale for the weekend. Today I wake up to see that internet retailer Woot.com has beaten Staples and HP’s $100 off by pricing the Touchpad at $379.99. For those unfamiliar with Woot, they’re one of the first of the deal-a-day sites. Bought out by Amazon […]
Another busy week for tablets, as the market segment just keeps heating up. From the industry leader at the moment, we have some great news. Apple’s iCloud and iWork with Cloud Support have gone into Beta for developers. No news on how magical it might be just yet. Then there was Monday’s release, pull, […]
You know how we were saying Facebook needed to get their Android act together? It gets a tad worse. Bad enough that it looked like Facebook was going to make hardware makers look into their own app solutions (ala HP and WebOS), now it looks more like it’s actually aimed at Android.

Oh, Roger McNamee. If you’re a follower of the travails of the company-formerly-known-as-Palm, then you know him as the face of Elevation Partners and the fellow who thought we’d all be using Pres by now (especially the ladies, because it had a mirror).

Lots of drips and drabs in the world of tablets this week. RIM’s updates, Toshiba bugs, iPads sales, big news from Lenovo, and an amazing tablet deal at Staples.
When the official online home of Harry Potter, Pottermore, goes live this October, it will bring a little Google magic to make it happen.
The world of tablets these days is full of competitors with just one thought in mind, beating the iPad2. Samsung took one look at the latest iPad and sent their efforts back to the drawing board. The answer they found seems to be, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. Last year, Android brought pretty […]
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 […]
