King-sized LG Vu Coming To U.S., Seeks To Dethrone Galaxy Note

(We’re looking at you, Dell.) LG recently introduced its own 5″ tablet, the Optimus Vu. However, this 5″-fronting, LTE-Living, stylus-sporting handset […]
Lenovo Announces ThinkPad Tablet 2
Lenovo’s ThinkPad line has always been geared towards business users on the go. In the post-PC (PC plus?) era, that has meant adding a tablet to the ThinkPad family. The ThinkPad Tablet was a bit of an odd fit for the role, though. It ran Android, not Windows, which meant no access to the Office […]
Acer’s CEO Has Fighting Words For Microsoft’s Surface
Microsoft’s announcement of its Surface tablets left many consumers and original equipment manufacturers (such as Acer, Dell, and HP) perplexed.

With days left before the opening ceremonies at the 2012 London Olympics, NBC and Adobe has made their Olympics Android apps available to a wider (but still not universal) audience.

With just days left before the opening of the 2012 Olympic games in London, it’s time to get your mobile devices ready.

Ultra-High Speed LED Light Communication Makes Its Commercial Debut
Last July, Dr. Harald Haas of the University of Edinburgh School of Engineering gave a TED Talk about what he called Light Fidelity, or LiFi.
