So long and thanks for all the iPads…

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 …

iPad: The day after…

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 …

Google comes out swinging

Google never ceases to amaze me as a company.  I wouldn’t go as far as to say they are infallible (Orkut?!), but when they really set their eye on the prize they come out swinging.   So it should come as no surprise to anyone that Google will ultimately come out with a tablet PC of some form or fashion.  Well, last night on the Chromium Projects site these photos were posted.  Even though Chromium is not Google, these renders were put together by Glen Murphy.  The same Glen Murphy who happens to be …

Apple unveils the iPad

A few days ago Apple unleashed the iPad on the world.  After a few days to let the initial awe soak in I found myself underwhelmed.  Not by the device itself, but more, by the reception by the general public.  My phone started ringing off the hook with people asking me one question…”Why do I need this?”  This question seemed to bother me a lot for the first day or two.  I was not sure why I needed it, much less why anyone else would.  I just knew that I had to …
