According to the study, 40 percent of iPad owners also own a Kindle, and another 23 percent of iPad owners plan on buying one in the next 12 months, …
When you think “online clothing outlets,” eBay may not be the first place that springs to mind, but if the San Jose-based company has anything to say about it, that’ll soon change. The company announced this morning that it had acquired the European company brands4friends, which describes itself as “Germany’s largest online shopping …
It’s the perfect crossover promotion: Halo and the new Lexus CT 200h.

My Technologizer column over at TIME.com this week is about Barnes & Noble’s new Nookcolor e-reader, the first dedicated e-reader from a big company with a full-blown color touchscreen. Overall, I like it–I’ve never been as happy reading monochrome E-Ink displays such as the ones on last year’s Nook and Amazon’s Kindle as much as I’m …
For this week’s Technologizer column over at TIME.com, I spent time with Samsung’s new Galaxy Tab tablet, which starts hitting US wireless carriers this week.
