Google

The tech giant is pushing itself into new territory with Android and Chrome OS. But will it succeed in the dog-eat-dog market of tablets and phones?

Rumor

We all love a juicy rumor, and though most might not be true, we’ll have at least dazzled ourselves for the time being.

Tablet

Apple iPad officially announced

Submitted by Sina Hamedian on Wednesday, 27 January 2010 Comments

The most anticipated product for seven years – it’s here. More pictures, speculation and others from us below.

At first glance, the iPad (before you had a chance to see anything about it), you think “Holy cow, this will revolutionize everything” or “This is sexy!” Both might be true, but at it’s heart, it is just a 10″ iPod touch give or take 3G support. Internet on the tablet is remarkable, the iPod app is a significant improvement, you can have a wallpaper as your home screen background, and watch HD YouTube videos. But is that it? No. It also features Bluetooth 2.1, 802.11n out of the box support, a ebook reader, iPhone app compatibility, LED screen, Google Street View, 1Ghz Apple A4 processor, among others. What missing really take away from the device, however. No camera, multi-tasking, flash, or other stuff really take away from it.

But why should I go on any farther?

The pricing starts at $499 for a WiFi only 16GB version and goes to $829 for a unlocked 3G + WiFi capable 64GB version of the tablet, meaning you can pop in your SIM and start surfing the internets. In addition, AT&T will offer a no contract $20 per month internet service for the iPad.

On to the nitty and gritty.
