    My top iPad pet peeves… so far

    Posted on April 3, 2010 | No Comments
    I’ll update – or shorten this list – as I work with the device. Sticky fingers – The iPad screen is big. It takes lots of fingerprints. It takes a nice brushing with a soft cloth to clean. Keep out of direct sunlight – As you saw from my photos, the screen washes out like mad in [...]

    Review: Nintendo DSi XL

    Posted on March 30, 2010 | No Comments
    Short version: Nintendo’s new DSi XL is aimed squarely at the older generation of casual gamers. People that appreciate something that’s a little easier to read. The people who wear their reading glasses while they sit down for their morning glass of fiber and read their copy of the AARP Journal. And heaven help me, [...]

    Review: HP TouchSmart 600

    Posted on February 19, 2010 | No Comments
    Short version: HP’s TouchSmart 600 isn’t the perfect solution for a touchscreen based home computer, but it comes pretty damn close. The TouchSmart system works well as an internet home appliance, but the thing that makes it special is also where it starts to show some problems. Features: 23-inch touchscreen Blu-ray playback Multiple inputs for video devices Wireless keyboard, mouse, [...]

    Quick Hands-On With The Sprint Overdrive 3G/4G Hotspot

    Posted on January 7, 2010 | No Comments
    Look out, MiFi – Sprint just pushed out your new baby brother, and he looks like a mean one. The Sprint Overdrive is a mobile hotspot, not unlike the aforementioned MiFi. The idea is simple: turn it on, and you’ve got a WiFi access point pulling down data via Sprint’s third and fourth generation networks. We just [...]

    The tiny LaCie Rikiki portable hard drive, everyone

    Posted on December 15, 2009 | No Comments
    Portable hard drives are always getting smaller. That’s a good thing. LaCie just announced its latest and is calling the Rikiki the most compact on the market. I can’t confirm that claim, but it sure is tiny. (twss) The USB 2.0 self-powered Rikiki measures in at 109.7×75x13.4 mm, which is just over a full inch [...]

    Hands-on with the 64GB iPod touch and iPod Shuffle “Special Edition”

    Posted on September 9, 2009 | No Comments
    There’s not much for us to say about either of these models. While it’s absolutely incredible that they crammed 64 GB into this razor thin iPod Touch, there’s nothing beyond that for us to touch on that can’t be said for past models. The other significant changes (50% speed boost and the addition of OpenGL [...]

    A new video that surfaced briefly promises that CrunchPad, the inexpensive tablet from Web 2.0 personality Michael Arrington, will be ready this year “for sure.” The video, which has since been removed from YouTube’s site, showed the unboxing of a CrunchPad that looked very similar to the photographs of the device that were out in April. “This [...]

  • Google Ion hands-on and unboxing

    Google Ion hands-on and unboxing

    Posted on May 27, 2009 | No Comments
    Looks like Chris' hatred wasn't totally unfounded. We just got our hands on a Google Ion -- which as you can tell is a spitting image of the HTC Magic -- complete with 30 days' worth of T-Mobile service on an included SIM card. It's not a public release model, but seems fully capable. Yes, it's got Cupcake, and while the portrait keyboard seems more cramped than the iPhone's, we found it very comfortable to type in landscape mode. Form factor wise, this thing is as sexy as hardware gets -- light, sleek, and thin. The only thing that exceeds our love for it right now is its own love for fingerprints -- seriously, the entire body and screen attract them like flies to honey. Colorful similes aside, hit up the gallery below for all the pics you could ask for.
