Like the idea of the Kindle or the Nook but don’t want to shell out $260? Borders has you covered with the $150 Kobo eReader. It’s lacking the all-over 3G wireless connections found in its competitors but it costs over $100 less and features a Bluetooth connection that can be used to synchronize it “wirelessly with select …
Sorry to dash your hopes, Verizon customers, but you probably won’t be getting the iPhone this year. Why? Well, according to Brian Marshall, an analyst at BroadPoint AmTech, AT&T finagled a new deal (only for six extra months) with Apple by cutting data plans for in half to lock in the iPad. But Marshall doesn’t necessarily have the …
If you saw a copy of Microsoft Office sitting unattended in a public area, what would you do? I’d think to myself, “Hey I use Google Docs, but Microsoft Office is expensive! I wonder where the rightful owner is. I’ll call Microsoft’s tech support hotline to ask them how to return it to said rightful owner and if they have no idea …

The newly-available 3G iPad is nearly identical to the standard iPad except for a $130 price premium and the ability to connect to AT&T’s cellular data network.

Since Virgin Mobile is a prepaid operator (it uses Sprint’s network), you’ll have to …
Intel’s Atom CPUs have been all over the netbook space but the processor manufacturer wants in on the lucrative smartphone and tablet arenas as well. With the introduction of the Z600 series of Atom CPUs, Intel is promising processor speeds up to 1.9GHz for tablets and 1.5GHz for smartphones while maintaining long battery life and the …
Hewlett Packard has unveiled its updated line of Envy notebooks, with the big draw being the 14-inch Envy 14 priced at just under $1,000. The computer measures an inch thick and weighs 4.4 pounds, which is pretty good for a machine with a 14-inch screen.
It’s actually a 14.5-inch screen for those of you keeping score, and HP is …
If the iPad’s lack of Flash support has kept you from shelling out the $500+ to join the whole tablet movement but you’re still intrigued by the idea nonetheless, you may want to check out the prototype Android tablets that Adobe has been showing off at the Web 2.0 Expo recently.
Perhaps most impressive, aside from being able to …
Earlier today I brought a little bit of insight into what Microsoft’s KIN is all about. Or, at the very least, who helped mold the devices and software running behind the latest Windows Phone platform.
