Now that Android is shoving over 200,000 android devices out per day and it has become painfully obvious that the iPhone is destined to become a niche device, similar to what happened to their desktop PCs in the ’80s, history is repeating itself.
Today marks the inauguration of the first announcement of a serious android competitor to the iPad. Today, Samsung announced the Galaxy Tab and, man, does it look sweet. Now, don’t get me wrong, the iPad is the type of device I have been waiting years for, but Apple’s militant ability to alienate themselves amongst all of the tech world …
I understand the need for a tool such as captcha, but one of our readers was creating a new blog over at blogger.com and he had to type in a pretty bad phrase. I am not sure if this was an algorithmic accident or if there was a partially demented dev that was responsible, but it is still just a little odd that a company the size as Google would let this slide through.
Feel free to write any other funny captchas you have seen in the comments below…

It is hard, sometimes, to realize that Adobe makes any product other than Flash, but yesterday they launched Adobe Reader for the Android platform. This ended up replacing a different app for me though. I had been using Aldiko for my ebook reading and it worked excellent, but had one major problem. All of the ebooks I have are in .pdf format and Aldiko only reads epub. Needless to say, I have been converting all of my pdf files to epub, with less then steller results.
As soon as I downloaded …
Mozilla has been working hard on the mobile version of Firefox for Android, code-named Fennec. There have already been several reviews of it here, here, and here, so I won’t be going into it. I just wanted to take this time out to talk about my concern over other browsers entering the Android market.
I love my Droid, I really do, and in general I like all of my Google products, but the browser in Android really rubs me the wrong way. It amazes me that the same company that produced …

Today the folks over at Cupertino are going to show off a few version of the iPhone OS. Rumors have been swirling around that this will not be a incremental update like the 3G to the 3GS was. This should hopefully introduce some form of multitasking, among other things. Stay tuned to techhype.net today because we will be trying to live blog the event.
So far Apple has done an excellent job at not allowing the OS to fragment, but as more devices are added to their stable I wonder if …
I had the opportunity to runt he iPad through its paces this weekend and it is stunning. I am sure by this point you have read a ton of reviews on this device so I will spare you the revamp of those ideas here and I will simply offer my first impressions.
The first thing I noticed when I picked it up was the weight. At first I was taken back by how heavy it seemed. I really thought it would be lighter, but once I dug into the experience …

About a week or go I decided it was time to start working on Tech Hype’s mobile Internet presence and tried multiple plug-ins to handle the heavy lifting. Most of the plug-ins I tried did an excellent job of doing what they were meant to do, but they seemed to lose the …
