A few weeks ago we all were surprised to read the news coming from India about a tablet with a price less than 40 dollars. Well, it seems to me that they have found the secret of how to made cheap tablets because here you can find a video demoing a prototype that will cost just 50 dollars to manufacture. The prototype is using an ARM processor — the same one that we were using in our Pocket PCs a while back. And...

If we can believe in what the OEM is saying, the Velocity Micro Cruz Tablet is going to be the first Tablet running Android to reach 10 hours of battery life. Battery life is very important and I would say that is one of the reasons why the iPad has been so successful.

SlideMyTiles is a new game for Android just released to the Market place. The game is currently a freeware on it’s way to become a commercial game and a best seller I would add.
I got a pre release copy from the author a few days ago and I have to confess that once I started play I could not stop. It’s simple but very addictive puzzle game.

I have been using the iPad for a few days already and while in some tasks it is perfect in other tasks is not. In another hand I have found that in some daily tasks where according to some owners Apple made it really easy it’s just as easy or worse than when you use a tablet pc loaded with Windows 7. This video shows what I’m saying.

I know that many Tablet PC owners have not bought yet an iPad because of the lack of any handwriting recognition. Well, here is WritePad. Many of us know this software from the time when we were starting to play around with Pocket PCs, more than 7 years ago. The recognition engine developed by PhatWare was probably even better than the one from Microsoft at that time. And now it’s available for iPads. Another reason...

While Apple is posting videos showing their tests in other phones, a move that many consider a bad one, other videos lately published show that the issue is worse than what has been admitted by the company.
This video proves that a simple touch affects web page loading, stopping it completely.

While the iPhone 4 could be called the Apple’s disaster, the iPad is becoming a best seller product. The iPad is what most of us wanted to see when Microsoft announced the Origami Project. What were we expecting from MS:
a device with about 10-12 hours of battery life
a very portable device in the market hole that existed between the 4.5 inches and the 9.8 inches (the smaller Tablet PC in the market at that time...

Flash Drives have replaced totally the old Floppies. They have a lot more capacity and they are very small which is an advantage and at the same time a disadvantage: you can lose them easily. And if that happens, is your data safe? If the answer is No then you may need this product: Encrypt Stick.

"Less than 1% of our users called Apple Care". It comes into my mind a young friend of mine that told me that he does not care if he could not make a call in the case of an emergency, the important thing was to own an iPhone 4!

Apple has not issued a recall of the iPhone 4 yet and it’s doing whatever they can to avoid that, like this free graphic (I would say too graphic) guide showing how you should be holding your iPhone 4 to gain the maximum reception. Here is the guide:

PC World and PC Magazine were two of my favorite magazines long time ago. But both reached a moment when the amount of publicity was more than the amount of good articles. On top of that, few articles published about Tablet PCs and UMPC were enough to make me cancel my subscriptions and start reading more web materials. I went green. But in the last few days I have found some articles posted at PC World that I found very...
