November 28th, 2011 · 1 Comment · hardware reviews, video
Have you seen Asus’ next Android tablet? It’s not out yet, but the eeePad Transformer Prime is promising to be just as droolworthy as its predecessor. The first early hands on video is now up on Youtube and the Transformer Prime looks as good as I expected. It keeps the 10″ screen found on the [...]

I’m Returning My Kindle Fire
November 27th, 2011 · 19 Comments · hardware reviews
Tomorrow I will be joining the growing mass of former Kindle Fire owners. I’ve had it for almost 2 weeks now and I’ve come to the conclusion that it doesn’t do any of the core Amazon features better than my other Android tablets.

How to Add a Microphone to the Kindle Fire
November 27th, 2011 · 1 Comment · hardware news, tips and tricks
Amazon started shipping the Kindle Fire a couple weeks back and we quickly learned that the KF was a stripped down tablet.
