Playing With Fire

Playing With Fire

By Jeff Nolan on November 18, 2011

I’ve had the Kindle Fire for a few days now and here are my impressions: The software layer that Amazon built on top of Android is smart and efficient. Not only does the interface hide the icon laden desktop that default Android features, but it serves the higher function goal of nicely integrating Amazon services […]

First appstore experience on a Windows 8 Tablet: the Chrome web store

First appstore experience on a Windows 8 Tablet: the Chrome web store

By James Governor on September 13, 2011

From 2011-09-13 I am at Microsoft Build where the company is taking the wraps off its new tablet-friendly Windows 8 operating system. No freebies for influencers at BUILD (fail!) but the developers here will all be taking home the shiny. I can’t give you the specs of the machine – its under NDA til later […]

Fusion Garage (of CrunchPad-Joo-Joo Fame) Drops Grid 10 Price by $200 – Only $200 More to Go

By Zoli Erdos on September 12, 2011

Some things just can’t die. Like the zillionth incarnation of what was formerly known as CrunchPad…. then after a messy divorce from TechCrunch became the Joo-Joo (sold a few dozen units), and now it’s back as the Grid 10.   I have a funny history with this device. I was a major advocate of the […]

Apple iPad vs. Android Xoom: Judgment day arrives

By Michael Krigsman on August 4, 2011

Summary: A personal journey deep into the heart of the iPad and Xoom tablets. Which side won? I’ve been an iPad fan since Apple first released the ubiquitous tablets; with instant-on and long battery life, these devices are an ideal traveler’s companion. This post describes iPad love, Android lust, and a reluctant return back to Apple. […]

I, for one, welcome our new Android forking overlords

I, for one, welcome our new Android forking overlords

By James Governor on January 27, 2011

At RedMonk we don’t think forking is a bad thing. On the contrary it enables innovation through fast iteration and cross fertlisation of technology and ideas. Forking allows for a biological metaphor for systems design. As Stephen explains: Bacteria – viruses too – evolve more quickly than do humans. If you’re reading this, that should […]

HP Slate 500–Big Yawn.

HP Slate 500–Big Yawn.

By Zoli Erdos on October 22, 2010

I love my iPad.  I hate my iPad.  Was preparing to dump it for the Samsung Galaxy Tab, until it turned out to be a 7”-er now.  Size matters, after all (or is it just my eyes?). So I got momentarily excited reading about the HP Slate 500 but that was a short moment. The […]

Will the Dell Streak Flop?  In Search of the Sweet Spot.

Will the Dell Streak Flop? In Search of the Sweet Spot.

By Zoli Erdos on June 3, 2010

In a few days you can plunk down $500 to buy this beauty directly from Dell. Or you can spend the same amount and get the Real Thing – the iPad. Or you can buy the HTC EVO. And that’s the problem with the Streak.  It’s neither…

The Courier & Foldable Tablets are Neither Innovative Nor “Different”

The Courier & Foldable Tablets are Neither Innovative Nor “Different”

By Zoli Erdos on April 30, 2010

This is a sad “I’ve told you” moment, as I predicted the death of dual-screen tablets, be it the one by MSI or Microsoft’s Courier, which has just been canceled.  Says Frank Shaw, Microsoft’s VP of corporate communications: At any given time, across any of our business groups, there are new ideas being investigated, tested, […]
