As I’ve mentioned ad-nauseum in my cellphone reviews, I’m not a huge fan of device manufacturers’ “skinning” of operating systems.

Hey look, a tablet post that isn’t about a TouchPad — it must be Thursday. In fact, it’s also IFA, which means the device announcements are coming faster than I can keep track. Things kicked off with Sony officially branding their new tablets, with the codenamed S-1 becoming the S, and the very cool S-2 […]
