Samsung  just announced a  pair of 4″ and 5″ media players. BTW, do you recall that Galaxy 5 Wifi we saw a few weeks back? I bet that’s one of the 2 announced today. The Galaxy players come with a pair of cameras (VGA & 2.3MP), Wifi, 8GB Flash Storage, a microSD card slot, speaker, [...]

March 16th, 2011 · No Comments · humor, video

It was only a matter of time before this was posted. The guys at Will It Blend have released their next video, and this time the iPad 2 is their victim. Gah, what a waste of money. But I do think the effort they put into shooting actually makes it halfway funny.

Notebook Italia got their hands on both of the new Asus e-readers when they were at CeBIT a couple weeks ago. This is the first video I’ve seen that compared the 2, and the differences are fascinating. I especially like this photo they took shoiwng the edges of the 2 gadgets. It really brings the [...]

iPad 2 Jailbroken

March 13th, 2011 · No Comments · hardware news

That was quick. Only a couple days after the iPad2 started shipping and it has been jailbroken.  The image at right shows an iPad2 accessing Cydia, the 3rd party iOS App Store.

“Banned” iPad 2 Promo Video

March 4th, 2011 · No Comments · humor

This is the video you’re not supposed to see. (I’m kidding.) Once again, the folks at JLE Productions have posted another parody video. Like their previous videos, this one doesn’t ridicule the device so much as it makes fun of Apple’s marketing efforts.  It’s funny.

That’s certainly what it looks like. I got the image at right from Gizmodo, and they said that it was in the invitation email. Normally I’d be cautious about the announcement, but if this really was the invite then I really think the iPad2 will be announced.

February 2nd, 2011 · No Comments · opinion

I cam across an interesting chart today which shows that iOS is now generating just over 2% of the world’s traffic on the internet. (I can’t recall where I found it, so if someone could find me the source I’d be grateful.) I was looking at this chart because web traffic has always been an [...]
