  • Seven more iPad alternatives

    Seven more iPad alternatives

    We ran through the seven mainstream iPad alternatives a few weeks ago. You should know the list anyway.  They include the usual suspects of the ModBook, Notion Ink Adam, HP Slate and Dell Streak along with a few others. But there are a bunch more portables either currently available or coming out real soon that could [...]

  • Review: enTourage eDGe dualbook

    Review: enTourage eDGe dualbook

    To say that the enTourage eDGe dualbook is "just an e-reader with a bolted-on netbook" (or vice versa) is to pretty dramatically miss the entire point of this thing. The eDGe exists in a category all by itself, because it does an awful lot more than just an e-reader or just a netbook. As a unique product, there are a couple of unfortunate shortcomings, but on the whole the dualbook represents an exciting glimpse at new ways to access and use technology and content. Devin pooh-poohed the eDGe recently, but I'm pretty excited about it.

    The Missing Sync for Android now available

    Just about each and every time we review an Android phone, one of the first questions that shows up in the comments is, “So – how is it at syncing?” The answer to that is a bit complex. If you’re just looking to sync with Google services (like Gmail, Google Calendar, etc.), it’s great. Anything [...]

  • Entourage announces e-book store for eDGe dualbook

    Entourage announces e-book store for eDGe dualbook

    The Entourage eDGe, the world's first "dualbook" is a dual-screen laptop / e-book reader hybrid thingie. The laptop portion is pretty straightforward, but what about the e-book? In the already crowded e-book space, how can the eDGe compete? Well, today they've announced they're very own e-book store. That's right, a device that is not yet in anyone's hands now has its own bookstore. All sarcasm aside, this is a pretty good move to demonstrate the long-term commitment from Entourage to the eDGe, even if it is yet another e-book store (okay, so maybe it wasn't all sarcasm aside). Read on for the whole press release.

    It’s a netbook! It’s an e-reader! It’s the enTourage eDGe!

    Reading e-books on a netbook is a nuisance, right? But e-readers are a pain because they're a single-function device, which means your man-bag gets filled with yet-another-specialty-gadget. Behold the enTourage eDGe: "the world’s first dualbook, combining the functions of an e-reader, netbook, notepad, and audio/video recorder and player in one."

    Optimum Online Ultra, one month later: Hope you plan to P2P a lot

    It's been about a month since I subscribed to Optimum Online Ultra, the fastest Internet service in the country—sorry, Peter. Consider this a predictable, rubbish explanation of how my Internet habits—nay, my life!—have changed as a result of having a 101 megabits-down/15 megabits-up connection.
