TechCrunch is reporting that HP has scrubbed its Windows 7 tablet because a) Windows 7 makes for a horrible tablet OS and b) they’re said to be abandoning Intel-based hardware altogether.
It should come as no surprise, really. Now that HP has picked up Palm, it makes perfect sense to switch gears and focus on webOS. I’ve heard …
Brian J. Hogan, everyone. A round of applause are in order.
Hogan was the ‘finder’ of the prototype iPhone that Gray Powell mistakenly left behind at a bar in Redwood City, CA, on March 18. In a statement provided by his attorney, Hogan says he regrets not having done more to return the prototype to its rightful owner.
RIP Microsoft Courier, we hardly knew ye.
Gizmodo, the gadget blog that first uncovered the Courier last year, reports that Microsoft has all but scraped the project. The two-screen tablet folder was intriguing based on conceptual videos also obtained by Gizmodo, but we’ll never know for sure if any of what we saw would have made …
In less time than we’d probably like to imagine, there will be only a few people left on earth who remember life without the Internet. Those early computing days will be remembered as a novelty, full of 8-bit integers and pin feed paper and – oh, who could forget – the reign of Solitaire.

AT&T and Apple really threw everyone for a loop in January when they announced that the 3G iPad would be sporting a micro SIM rather than your standard SIM card that’s been around for quite some time. My own brother was wondering if he could somehow fashion the micro SIM so that it would fit into the normal SIM card slot on an iPhone, …
Apple’s 3G iPads aren’t technically supposed to arrive until tomorrow, but it appears that some folks are getting theirs today like my brother. Lucky jerk. Anyone pre-order and receive theirs today? Send us photos!
I don’t know if I’ve ever read anything longer than a sentence or two from Steve Jobs, but he pulled out the big guns with a 1,653-word post on Apple.com called Thoughts on Flash.
It’s been no secret that Apple’s opted to embrace HTML5 over Flash and the Apple-versus-Flash tiff has spilled over into the public arena, most …
Sony’s going the Chumby route (remember Chumby?) with its Dash Personal Internet Viewer. At $200 it’s a tad on the expensive side, but you get a big 7-inch 800×480 touch screen and over 1,000 apps to choose from. Oh and speaking of those apps, they’re actually Chumby apps. UPDATE: While the device uses Chumby apps, it’s also got …

HP has announced that they will acquire floundering Palm for $1.2 billion at $5.70/share. A steal considering how profitable Palm can be with HP’s distribution channels and cash flow. A press conference is set for 5PM ET, which we’ll be covering live. After rumors that Palm CEO Jon Rubenstein would soon be outed it appears as though he …
Here’s a quick update on the whole iPhone saga for your enjoyment. You’ll recall that over the weekend, a special task force raided Gizmodo editor Jason Chen’s home and took most, if not all, of his electronics equipment as evidence that “tends to show that a felony has been committed or that a particular person has committed a …
