First published at www.examiner.com/gadgets-in-seattle/ Apple’s iPad 2 goes on sale today at 5pm, less than a year after the game changing original Ipad. 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 [...]

Damn. Buy.com currently has a never-been-locked 3Gs 32gb Iphone for two cents under a $1000. That seems like a lot of money for a phone. For $1000 you could buy a 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook. For $1000 you could buy a Golden Opulence Sundae. For $1000 you could buy a 1998 Kia Sportage [...]
OK, this was one tablet that I actually was looking forward to. Michael Arrington has posted that the Crunchpad is dead. The plan was to debut the CrunchPad on stage at the Real-Time Crunchup event on November 20. 1,000 of the devices would be available pre-sale and they would start taking orders immediately. 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″, [...]
I’ve left Palm for something else. My Treo 650 served me well, but the lack of Wi-Fi was a major draw back and the fact that their most recent OS update didn’t do 1/2 of what they claimed it would was a big red flag. I had seen my cousins G1 (he works for T-Mobile) [...]
