This 13-inch Samsung Series 9 notebook I have here is a sexy slab, my friends. It tips the scales at 2.88 pounds thanks to Samsung’s use of aircraft-grade “Duralumin” which is apparently twice as strong as aluminum.
The backlit keyboard is one of the best I’ve used and the computer itself feels like it’s generally in hyperdrive—it …
Well it only took a little over a year, but Android tablet makers have finally decided to compete against the iPad’s $500 starting price.
Acer is first out of the gate with its $450 Iconia Tab A500, slated for launch this Sunday, April 24th at Best Buy. It’s got a 1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor, one gigabyte of RAM, 16 gigabytes of …
The $70 Wet Circuits 4-outlet power strip is VERY expensive for a surge protector. That being said, the company claims that this one is water resistant and you can stick tweezers into the sockets without electrocuting yourself to death. I tested those claims. Did I die? I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
The $1,300 Acer Iconia laptop is certainly unique. The machine features two 14-inch touchscreens instead of the tried and true screen-and-keyboard combination, while retaining the same form factor as a standard laptop.
The bottom touchscreen is home to the Acer Ring, which is activated by touching all five fingers to the glass. …
Tax prep? There’s an app for that. Several, actually.
The folks at Intuit recently gave me a demo of their TurboTax apps: SnapTax for iPhone and Android lets you take a photo of your W2 form and fills in all the necessary blanks automatically, while TurboTax for iPad features everything you’d find with the web-based version of …
“Gmail Labs is a testing ground for experimental features that aren’t quite ready for primetime. They may change, break or disappear at any time.”
That’s the ominous message that greets you when you delve into the deepest, darkest corners of Gmail. Beware!
However, some of Gmail’s experimental features can and do make your e-mail …
Technology experts have been saying for years—YEARS!—that our personal computers will one day be so small and powerful that we’ll carry them around in our pockets. Motorola’s Atrix 4G smartphone and laptop dock have gotten an early jump on that future.
The Android-based Atrix 4G phone is powerful in its own right—dual core …
In case you missed it, Apple announced the iPad 2 yesterday. It’ll be available on March 11 with pricing starting at $499, just like the previous version. Noteworthy additions include front- and rear-facing cameras, a 33% thinner profile, a slightly lighter weight and a dual-core processor.
If you’ve been waiting to buy an iPad, …
It’s the Top 20 Must-Have Android apps post, but truncated to fit in a two minute video. So not all 20 are there, but—BUT!—the video showcases a handful of them and then refers you back to the actual post.
Circle of life, wheel of for-tuuune and so on.

The HTC Inspire 4G is a good Android phone with a great price tag that leverages AT&T’s newly-enhanced network speeds. I didn’t find the so-called “4G” speeds to be mind-blowing here in Boston where I live—most of the time they were only marginally faster than 3G, if at all—but the technology is still being rolled out on AT&T’s end, …
The HP TouchPad was announced this week. It’s a slick-looking tablet that’s nearly identical in size to the iPad but sports a faster dual-core processor, front-facing camera and runs the WebOS interface that was developed by Palm before it was acquired by HP last year.
The lack of a price tag or firm availability date are both a bit …
You’ve seen the list, now don’t miss the video.
Some say the tech sector has no business trying to cultivate a lovey-dovey crowd; that heart-shaped USB drives and the like are little more than silly pandering to a savvy demographic of gadget lovers that see right through all the marketing hype. To them I say, maybe you’re right. But …
