As I skimmed the iPad app store the other night, the one app that struck me most (besides Flipboard) was one that actually set way, way down at #55. It was the highly-touted Hulu + app, possibly one of the most hoped-for and touted apps by the iPad crowd.
The price was set at $9.99. So [...]

There has been a lot of talk and maybe a little drama surrounding the Fast Company Influence Project and I wanted to write a little something about why I wanted to be a part of the project and why I continue to ask for the support of my friends and colleagues by the way of [...]
Obviously, Best Buy was going to start selling a tablet soon… that isn’t a surprise., however it is a bit surprising that its CTO Robert Stephens shot a few pics of the tablet branded RocketFish and tweeted them out over Twitter earlier today.
Beyond the shot above and the one after the break, we don’t know much about the HP Slate-looking [...]

Amazon dropped the price of the Kindle to $189 from $249. Ok, really? While I understand that some people have a previously purchased Kindle, why would anyone buy just a Kindle for themselves at this point when we now have the iPad? Yes, the iPad is a lot more money but for most people it [...]
The topic came up with a friend as of late as I gushed platelets over the True Blood premiere. His response: Vampires represent everything that is wrong with America. Ouch. Really? Sookie? Edward? Surely not Edward.

A fellow who goes by the name “squirrelfantasy” (we’re not going to ask) has put together a working printer that uses felt-tip pens instead of ink cartridges. The most impressive part, though, is that he built it entirely out of LEGOs.
Adorned with LEGO men and, really, only as pretty as it has to be to get [...]

So, sometimes I wonder: “How have we been able to attract these amazing writers that we have at MobileLocalSocial.com that we are blessed with?
There is no big compensation right now for writing. No revenue to speak of, yet. People are trained to NOT click advertising, for the most part… we are [...]

Over at Reddit I noticed a link to Whisper Systems. Encrypted voice and texting applications entitled RedPhone 0.1 and TextSecure 0.1, are free for Android phones. If this isn’t a reason to have an open source O/S, I don’t know what is.
Download from the Android market now. I just did.
At only 80 um-thick, Sony’s flexible OLED which measures 4.1 inches and is 432X240 rez, is looking pretty futuristic to me.

The iPhad empire. Only two or maybe three operating systems can hang with the top dog. Ok, maximum five are possibly real iPad competitors. Six then. That’s it! 2010 is shaping up to be the year of the tablet/pad/slates.
Read on for the major comparisons.
I have had my iPad for about six weeks now and I have to say that for the most part I love it. The screen is amazing, the apps are great and it is extremely convenient for taking to meetings. Here is my one hang up. The accessories are less than stellar. While I think [...]
I freakin’ LOVE this. Unfortunately, this isn’t an app, but some code created to play this song with Processing.org. So, you can’t download a player that does this… but WOW, someone talk to Pandora. I’d LOVE to sit with this rocking on my iPad, reading the words to the song as it [...]

Mobile Local Social started out as an experiment to see what kind of traction it could get and to find out what kind of talent that we could find to write for it, consistently.

Ok, we all know this is a very shitty crisis going on down in the Gulf of Mexico. I have to say that it seemed like only a matter of time for one of these offshore oil wells did something crazy like explode and completely pollute the surrounding waters. It had to go [...]
For the first quarter in over six years, the Japanese giant, Nintendo, lost money. Heads have to roll! It looks like they may have declared war upon Apple, since apparently, they’ve already defeated Sony.
