It will be interesting to see how early sales go. Has Apple already saturated the tablet market with its successful iPad sales? Will original iPad owners trade up for the new model, [...]
Even if it was a cardboard cut out version of Dell’s new tablet that Steven Lalla, vice president and general manager of Dell’s commercial client product group, was holding up, the promised specs had to get the attention of tablet wanters everywhere. Lalla and the cardboard display of the tablet were the stars of the [...]
Remember how 2010 was going to be the year of the tablet? Well, its come and gone and the only legitimate tablet released was Apple’s famed Ipad, a giant version of their Itouch which appears to be more of a platform to sell Apps than anything else at this point. So where are the tablets [...]
Cherrypal Announces the World’s First $99 Laptop Cherrypal has done it. A $99 7″ laptop running Android. Honestly, for less than 100 bucks, it seems like an ok little ‘netbook’. And it runs Android. I could see the lack of touch screen maybe being a little clunky with the Android Interface (I have a G1) [...]
When Arrington posted that the Crunchpad is dead, there was mention of upcoming legal action against once partner Chandra Rathakrishnan and Fusion Garage. On Monday Fusion Garage released the tablet now known as the JooJoo in San Francisco. How they rubbed off the CruchPad logo so fast, I’m not sure. The touch screen device is [...]

Larger scale [...]
The “Swiss Army Knife” of Disk Connectivity…Turns Any Bare Drive Into An External Storage Solution!! I just ordered one of these for only $30. I have a small army of older hard drives that probably have stuff on them I’ll want, this seemed like a good way to access the data. It allows any 2.5″, [...]
We recently switched our phone and internet service from Qwest to Comcast and honestly, its working out better. Now in all fairness, our phone lines sucked. This may not be the fault of Qwest, but it didn’t help their cause. We often had static on the phone line and occasional internet outages. Now we have [...]

For only $177 I could have a refurbished Dell Mini 9 netbook, by using coupon code $C$TXXP1CT3BLC. Sure it the 1.6GHz Atom, 512MB of RAM, and 4GB SSD Ubuntu one (I’m going to have to get XP when I finally get a netbook), but its tempting. These are probably returns and left overs from the [...]
