The 10.7.4 update for OS X that was recently released had some hidden changes that indicated that Apple is about to release something big. It has already been reported by Apple Insider that the icon for the built-in TextEdit application’s highest quality version has been increased to 1,024 x 1,024, which is double the 512 x 512 that it used to be.Read More →

Are consumers beginning to choose this ultraportable tablet over the much bulkier option of a laptop? According to a survey conducted by NPD, Apple’s iPad is not having a particularly significant impact on the sales of laptops, and is going to have a hard time overcoming objections in sales. The research group found that only 13 percent of those who purchased an iPad did so instead of buying a laptop. NPD also polled consumers who have bought theseRead More →

So Sony has decided to dive somewhat into the tablet industry but not completely. The Dash has a tablet-like appearance and many of the same functions, but it is not exactly as portable as tablets like the iPad. The Sony Dash has a pretty basic structure. It features a seven-inch touchscreen, stereo speakers, a snooze bar/menu button, volume buttons, a USB port, a headphone jack, and of course the power connection cord. The case that encompasses the Dash is made of a rubber-like material that allows you to get a good, secure grip on the device. The biggest problem that I see with the DashRead More →

There has been quite a bit of hype lately surrounding Apple’s new iPad. Its a very interesting creature. The greatest selling point is definitely it’s sleek appearance. The shiny, brushed aluminum backed gadget is almost elegant looking. One of the reasons for this attractiveness is the absence of a keyboard. The problem with being keyboard-less is that many people will not be able (or maybe not want) to huddle over the device to punch on the on-screen keys for an extended period of time. Even when you set the iPad on a table or desk, there is still an annoying wobble that you must dealRead More →
