HP’s slashing the price of their end-of-lifed TouchPad (and giving price adjustments to those who already bought it) has been quite the news story this week. New WebOS users managed to take down perennial WebOS enthusiast site Precentral for a bit yesterday, and any site listed in the massive Slickdeals thread tends to get overrun […]
Why in the world am I reviewing a product that has been discontinued, you ask? Partly because you can likely expect lots of close out deals on the TouchPad now. I still feel strongly that WebOS is a great operating system and hope HP finds a role for it, What about the hardware though? That’s […]
It turns out the rumors of HP selling their PC division were spot on, and now HP is seeking a separation from Personal Systems Group (PSG).
Well, that was fast. The injunction against the sale of the Samsung Galaxy Tab has — albeit temporarily — been lifted in the European Union (a notable exception is Germany, where the ban is still in place). This news came Tuesday a day after several blogs, such as PC World, pointed out that it looked […]
You remember the Pre3, right? The phone announced alongside the Touchpad and the Veer? The one that fans ignored the Pre2 for, because it was going to be so much better? The one that was supposed to come out Summer of 2011, which has two whole weeks left? The one that hasn’t shown up on […]
HP’s Touchpad hasn’t exactly gotten off to a great start. Reviews have been less than enthusiastic, with comparisons widely made to the iPad of last year, rather than this year’s iPad2. The hardware is too bulky, the software too buggy before this week’s update, and the lack of apps just appalling. Last week’s $100 price […]
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, […]
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.
HP has sure as heck had a busy week. The Touchpad, not even two weeks old, has been taking a bit of a hit from reviewers for essentially not being a good enough response to the iPad2 (which makes sense, as it was a response to the original iPad). On Monday, the senior VP of […]
