Good news, would-be iPhone 4S buyers still unconvinced Apple’s death-grip reception troubles with the iPhone 4 didn’t carry over to the lookalike iPhone 4S: Consumer Reports claims they’ve been banished.
“In special reception tests of the iPhone 4S that duplicated those we did on the iPhone 4, the newer phone did not display the same …
Back when Dish Network’s Blockbuster Movie Pass was first announced, there was one obvious problem with the idea that it was a true competitor to Netflix: It was only available to Dish Network customers.
Now that I’ve had a chance to test out the online streaming portion of the Movie Pass package for myself, another problem seems just …
HP announced a 3D PC display and a 3D PC yesterday. To me, at least, the most interesting thing about them is that the company chose a different flavor of 3D for each device.
First the display. Its official moniker is the HP 2311gt 3D monitor, and it’s a 23″ LED-backlit display. Like most 3D movies you see in theaters, the 3D is …
As a holdover until Microsoft ships the tablet-friendly Windows 8, I like the idea of a Windows 7 tablet that also runs Android. Sure, Windows 7 doesn’t play nicely with touch screens, but it’s a great operating system for getting work done, and when you’re finished, you can switch to Android for leisure.
That’s what ViewSonic tries …
Imagine my surprise when, last week, the UPS guy dropped off a package from Sony containing a brand new flatscreen TV—not just any flatscreen, mind you, but Sony’s new PlayStation 3D TV! Remember when they announced it back in June at E3 2011? I’d forgotten all about it until it appeared on my doorstep, as if by subconscious …
Behold, the gigantic Windows smartphone in NYC’s Herald Square. No, Microsoft isn’t going after the under-served Godzilla demographic; it’s celebrating the release of its four new phones, which all run on the delicious-sounding Mango (less-deliciously known as Windows Phone 7.5).
Those four phones would be the HTC Radar 4G, Samsung …
Look at that iPhone 4S, all sleek and new and, well, pretty much identical to the iPhone 4 on the outside. It’s what’s inside that counts, from the 4S’s superior camera and faster all-in-one processor to a voice assistant named Siri you can’t find anywhere else—anywhere else that’s not an Apple phone, anyway.
It sounds like a Siri …

Okay you visually healthy don’t-need-glasses tech buffs, here’s your chance to don a pair of Buddy Holly-thick specs (thicker, in fact) while parked in front of a computer monitor that doubles as your PC. Meet the HP TouchSmart 620 3D Edition, another svelte, tower-free desktop HP’s adding to its already crowded lineup of all-in-one …
Ben Bajarin is the Director of Consumer Technology Analysis and Research at Creative Strategies, Inc, a technology industry analysis and market intelligence firm located in Silicon Valley.
According to Comscore, tablets now represent 2% of all U.S. based internet traffic. The dominant contributor to tablet traffic is, of course, …
Andy Rooney reminded us how important it is to make technology accessible to people who don’t like technology. Here’s a collection of some of his most masterful musings when it came to the world of high tech.
This is the most excited people have been about a thermostat since… well, ever. People are so in love with the Nest, a.k.a. “the iPod of thermostats,” that the device is already sold out through early 2012.
A notice on Nest’s website apologizes that “the demand was huge from day one and the orders haven’t slowed down.” The company …
