Overall, I feel like the iPad is a neat device.  It’s catching a lot of flack right now because Apple didn’t go all out right off the bat.  I agree that some of the missing features and media agreements would have gone over a little better had they been available on the day of... »

This has been the article most widely written already, but I figured I’d throw my two cents in as well.  While a number of the things that have been left out make sense if you think of them from a business perspective, very few people give a hoot about that.  So, they complain.  You... »

There really isn’t a lot to say about the UI and the built-in applications that most people aren’t already familiar with. Since the OS is a variant of iPhone OS, it works pretty much exactly the same.  You get iTunes, Mail, Safari, YouTube, Notes, etc.  There are some cosmetic differences to some of them, such... »

With so many reviews and opinions of Apple’s latest “creation”, I’m sure this one will get lost in the shuffle, however, being a tech/gadget blog, it’s my duty to voice my opinions on this potential game changer.

I could be wrong, but I think it’s only a matter of time until the sale of movies becomes the exception rather than the rule.  Personally, I only know a handful of people who even consider actually buying a DVD anymore, and don’t know anyone that buys full length digital movies.

Here we are, at the beginning of 2010, and we’ve come a long way in the last 15 years. The question is, where do we go next? This year’s CES was somewhat of a dud, in my opinion. There were feature upgrades to a number of products, but nothing that seemed terribly original. 3D televisions... »

With this year’s CES wrapping up tomorrow, I thought I’d take a few minutes to point out a few things about the announced products.  Not everything that was shown off will make it to market, and that’s probably for the best. There are too many eBook readers.  Not only are there too many in general,... »

CES, which kicks off today in Las Vegas, is going to be rife with eBook readers of all shapes and sizes.  The two most popular ones have already been released (Kindle and Nook) and seem to be selling very well.  There are some early leaks that show a lot of variety in that segment... »
