First off a little background: I’m not an Apple/Mac hater at all – I like their aesthetics and interfaces, but hate the iTunes-connection (more iPhone/iPad-related than OSX). Yes, I know there are ways around it, but eventually, you’re going to end up needing it for something. I’ve recently been loving Android and its progression …

I know – with wireless, DLNA, streaming, cloud, etc. as prevalent as they are, who would need a media player with no networking capabilities? Poor people in China? Well yes, probably… and myself – for my car. I didn’t want to mess with swapping out the stereo this time so I was looking for something …

After adding to (not replacing!) my Tmobile service with an Evo 4G from Sprint (yes, on launch day), I haven’t really lusted after a new phone. And that’s a weird thing for me, who typically keeps looking for the latest and greatest. I guess that’s a testament to the fact that the Evo 4G really …

If you’re looking for a tablet to buy, the best bet might still be to wait. The current crop of tablets still requires accepting a lot of flaws, and I’m not talking about the lack of a physical keyboard. Apple iPad – Apple’s behemoth (in terms of sales) is probably the best overall tablet currently …

I’d like to think I can be fairly objective about this since I love both companies and their products. Eagerly awaiting Apple’s recent announcement, all I was hoping was for a high-res 11″ screen and I’d be sold! Unfortunately, their 1366×768 screen doesn’t count as high-res to me, so now I’m still confused about what …

I have a love/hate relationship with Sony that goes back to the minidisc days (because their cassette Walkmans were the bomb, baby). I guess it was around that time that I realized they can make all kinds of cool shit, but ruin them with proprietary formats or protocols. Beyond Minidisc (which wasn’t all Sony’s fault), …

If calculators existed back then, I bet they’d look something like these… I don’t know how much they’d cost since each one looks unique and custom, but I think eventually, I’ve gotta have one… check out the site and I think my favorites are the ones with the knife-switches on them!

Sharpie, maker of all things permanent, has created a liquid pencil! WTF? Yes, you can write with it, erase it, and best of all, it can set permanently in 24-72 hours (it says 72 hours but also says 24 on the back of the package?). I used to LOVE to sketch and draw (actually still …

I really wanted to like the Dell Streak – 5″ of Android/Wi-fi/HSDPA/HSUPA/Gorilla Glass, but WTF, Dell? So it’s still not out and when it does ship, it’ll ship with Android 1.6 (though they say a Froyo OTA will be out “later this year”) and for $299 on AT&T? So this is going for more than …

Cisco Live (aka Networkers) is going on now in Vegas and among all the other technical training and insights going on, Cisco has announced the Cius and the Home Energy Controller, a pair of Android-based tablets. The Cius is undeniably cool as a portable HD videoconferencing device with other abilities to access cloud-based apps, but …
