I’m the type of techie who is hard to impress at times. Sure, I find innovation just as interesting as the next guy. The only problem is that I’m a stickler for practicality. If I feel that a new device isn’t exactly practical or useful, I won’t waste my time or money on it. Recently I’ve been seeing a lot of people resorting to tablets as their main mobile computing source. Now call me old fashioned, but I love my MacBook Pro. I’m a laptop kind of guy. All the power of a computer with the added mobility. Companies like Microsoft have taken notice ofRead More →

Apple has been molding its operating system to support higher resolutions, according to recent reports, which makes the rumors about the next generation of MacBooks having the same retina display that the new generation of the iPad has seem a little more likely. 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 →

“I love you sweetheart.” “Happy Anniversary Darling.” Merry Christmas Mom.” All of these sweet messages are perfect to put on a ring, picture frame or plaque for that special someone in your life. However, nothing shows how much these words truly mean unless they are engraved on the back of a fresh new iPad. That’s right, why not get your mom, child or significant other a gift that keeps on giving all year round and always reminds them of how much they mean to you? In line with rumors that surfaced this past summer, the good folks over at Apple have decided to include aRead More →

<divid=”xcpost” style=”PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px”> The iPad is a phenomenal technological device. It has been a huge success for Apple, but is this new gadget stealing all the laptop sales? 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 →

CNET decided to ask its readers which they prefer: an iPad or a Netbook. According to the results, those who favorite netbooks did so for practical reasons, while those who preferred an iPad cited media-viewing capabilities and other novelties. Netbooks seemed to be the most favored. As the article points out iPads are newer and aren’t exactly like traditional computers. So, whether or not the match-up is fair, is questionable. However, most people are probably going to own either, but not both. Due to their size and ease of carrying, both are handy for travel or working on the go. And as CNET points out,Read 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 →
