LG kicked off press day here at CES. LG Mobile connected with Mobile Local Social back in December and invited me to come out and blog about their event and give our honest take on their new product line. However, after the press event, I can say I am very impressed. 2011 is going to [...]
January is quickly approaching. What does this mean for early adopters and lovers of cool tech gadgetry? Only one thing, CES is nigh. This will be a fun time to go to CES, as many companies are preparing to take on Apple iPad with tablets of their own. I expect internet TV to get some [...]
Next generation aims to reduce power consumption and help make way for tiny wireless sensors.

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 [...]

What better way to celebrate Earth Day than by destroying a consumer electronic device in an environmentally-friendly hybrid vehicle.
Q. What exactly is the O.R.B.? A ring or a headset? A. Both, actually! The O.R.B. is a “digitset™” that transforms from a ring with a simple twist to become a headset worn on the ear that is capable of hands-free calling. Incorporating NXT technology the O.R.B. provides high quality bone conduction audio without the [...]

Can we please wait until the iPad has been available for purchase for more than a week before we hail how it has irrevocably changed our lives forever?
Cory Doctorow, Joel Johnson, you’re both wrong when it comes to the iPad. I’m probably wrong, too. But that’s never stopped me from pointing out errors when I sees ‘em. First up: C-Doc, I love you and your can-do spirit, but Joel is right. A lot of people want something that just works. The trick [...]

ARM is the democratization of the CPU outside the Wintel paradigm. ARM has become the CPU of choice for mobile devices, and as the demarcation between mobile and immobile gets further eroded by devices like the iPad and Chrome OS, the ARM architecture has become the most viable x86 killer that has ever existed.
Sony has officially announced the motion controller add-on device that will be available fall of 2010 for the PlayStation 3. What started as the Sony “Gem”, then became the “Arc” (my favorite) has now landed as the Sony Move. By far the lamest of the name options in my opinion. Most of the net sites are [...]
With Mashable reporting that we could see upwards of 50 different Tablets being released this year I thought it might be good to tell these companies what the “perfect” Tablet would be, in my eyes. I think that Apple missed the target a bit, which could be blamed on too much hype or just high [...]
Adobe states that one “can start selling your AIR applications with a try & buy licensing model” with their new Shibuya app store.
After seeing Avatar my husband predicted that 3-D televisions would be the wave of the future. He is usually pretty accurate with these predications as his job requires him to be, I however, said no way. Because I didn’t actually believe people would sit in their living rooms with the required 3-D glasses to watch [...]

Gizmodo recently posted an article about the upcoming Flash 10.1 (currently in Beta 3 form) and Adobe’s determination that only a few current Android phones (see Nexus One only), and upcoming handsets with the proper muscle, will actually be able to run Flash properly. “There are two factors that’ll determine whether or not your phone is [...]
Sony patents a touch-screen based “Universal Game Console Controller” that lacks physical buttons. Sony’s previous patent filing could give a better hint on what they are planning.
Apple, who believes that everyone in the real world (see outside of Cupertino) has hands like a Simpson character, has been granted a patent for multitouch capacitive screens. You can readt it here. “A touch panel having a transparent capacitive sensing medium configured to detect multiple touches or near touches that occur at the same [...]
The tablet based magazine future is looking very bright. If subscription prices are fair, we may have yet another reason to let the trees live free from fear of persecution. And yes, supposedly these E-zines will run on your iPad using an Adobe Air application, if Apple allows it that is. Slashgear also put up [...]
