Oh Samsung, you’re such a tease.
For a couple of weeks, you’ve been hinting at an 8.9 inch tablet, first with a press event invitation, and now with a YouTube video of some dimly-lit, stylized renderings. Just one problem: Nobody cares.
Admittedly, it was cool when you teased the original Galaxy Tab late last year. Back then, …
Chris Bangle, the most controversial designer of automobiles in recent memory, has a nifty new geek gig: designing cellphones and notebooks for Samsung.
A wee bit of backstory, for those one or two of you who don’t passionately follow design trends in high-end automobiles. Bangle, a stylish and persistently innovative Midwesterner, …
Electronics retailer B&H has jumped the gun and started taking pre-orders on a Wi-Fi-only Motorola Xoom tablet for $599, even though Motorola hasn’t confirmed the pricing itself.
B&H’s Xoom product page doesn’t say when the Wi-Fi version will ship, but says it’s “a new item being released in limited quantity, We are accepting orders …
If you’re tempted to complain about the latest iPad’s price tag, consider this: in Hong Kong, iPad 2s are easily selling for twice the price, and in some cases up to $1,500. (And that’s not in Hong Kong dollars, either.)
Even though the iPad 2 has yet to make it way to Hong Kong, the device is already sold out. It’s been …
Here’s a bit of schadenfreude for the folks who can’t find or don’t want an iPad 2: Some owners of Apple’s new tablet say the edges of their screens are bleeding light.
YouTube user IAmPhones has documented the problem in a video, which clearly shows a patch of white light on the side of the screen near the iPad 2′s home button. Users …
The business of buying an iPad 2 has predictably turned to madness, with scarce in-store supplies and ship dates stretching into April.
Apple’s online store shows a shipping delay of three to four weeks for all iPad 2 models, up from a flat three-week delay for people who ordered the tablet on its March 11 launch day. The iPad 2 is …
When Apple unveiled the iPad back in January of 2010, the company’s competitors rightly saw a huge opportunity. Now that Steve Jobs & Co. had created the first modern tablet computer, other manufacturers could build on the ideas it originated. They could offer features that it didn’t. They could deliver more bang for the …
Investment firm Piper Jaffray sent a team of analysts out into the streets, and not so shockingly, they found that the iPad 2 had virtually sold out in retail stores. But surprise, surprise, they discovered that a vast majority – over half, in fact – of new buyers never owned the original iPad.
To get the numbers straight, 70 …
One of the Motorola Xoom’s missing pieces will fall into place with the arrival of Adobe Flash on March 18.
Adobe made the news official on its blog. Flash 10.2 will arrive alongside Android 3.0.1, an over-the-air software update that’s rolling out to Xoom tablets now. Adobe’s considering this a beta release for tablets, but the final …
My Technologizer column over at TIME.com this week is about the end of the PC era–which, I’ve decided, already happened awhile ago while nobody was looking. There are so many Internet-connected computing devices of all sorts in our lives–phones, TVs, tablets, e-readers, and more to come–that the PC is merely one among many rather than …
Today is iPad 2 launch day. Some of you will rush out and buy it, some of you would rather eat a pinecone, and the rest of you may fall somewhere in the middle. Perhaps you already have an iPad, perhaps you’re holding out for a better tablet, or perhaps you just need a little reassurance that the $500+ you’re about to lay out will be …
The stylus may have been left behind in the age of multi-touch, but Microsoft researchers think they’ve got a way to give it new life.
Microsoft Research has posted images and video (via Engadget) of a stylus that changes functions based on how you hold it. For example, a typical pen grip allows for handwriting, but holding the stylus …
