There have been rumors for some time that Google will release it’s own tablet. Recently it became more and more evident, and now the device is here. Except it’s not exactly what I was expecting. Rather than compete with Apple in the 10″ category, Google has firmly aimed the Asus-built Nexus 7 at a category […]

It’s always interesting to look at the trends in what’s being reported at such events, and this year I’m seeing one big, yet unsurprising trend — touch. In the last few years, heavy tablet adoption on top of years of touchscreen smartphone […]
We ususally avoid tackling rumors, but when the Wall Street Journal, Reuters, and Bloomberg are all talking about it, then it’s officially time to weigh in.
