The smartphone market has become a very competitive place over the last year. With new app phones being delivered by HTC and Motorola on a monthly basis, Apple’s vaunted iPhone is finally facing some real competition. Unlike previous would-be iPhone killers, superphones like the Droid X and the EVO 4G are running mature versions of Google’s Android operating system.

LogMeIn for iPad Is Sure to Amaze You and Your Friends
It’s been two weeks since I first unboxed my iPad 3G and it’s been two weeks of a whole lotta fun! This is the first blog post I am attempting to write on the iPad and so far, so good.
Is the Toshiba Libretto W100 the Future of Notebook Computers?
Toshiba announced the release of the Libretto W100 for their 25th Anniversary. The exact details are a bit vague, but what we do know is that there will be a limited number of these sold and they will be on the market in August. So what is so great about the Libretto that possibly revolutionizes the notebook computer?
5 Fundamental Flaws of the iPhone 4 Launch
With the iPhone 4 launch behind us, I think it is safe to say that not only was it a success, it might have topped all previous product launches with what is estimated as 1.5 million iPhone 4s sold in one day. Ever since Apple announced the phone, no scratch that, ever since Gizmodo showed us the phone, everyone knew it was going to be a hit. With the new beautiful design, the additional memory, the unprecedented display, and the improved camera, the new iPhone is a force to be reckoned with.
9 Apps Every iPad Owner Must Download
So I have been getting a lot of feedback on my previous post about the issues I have with the iPad and apparently people got the very mistaken impression that I am not happy with the device. This could not be further from the truth and at the risk of definitely being called a fanboy in the comments, I will say that Apple did a phenomenal job with their debut into the world of tablet computers.
11 Things That Bother Me About My iPad
Yesterday was a big day for me. While I am a complete gadget nut and always want the newest toys, truth be told, I am not much of an early adopter. It is mainly budgetary constraints since I do not usually have money laying around to buy the newest toys. However, yesterday, I got my iPad 3g 64GB.
3 Reasons to Switch from BlackBerry to iPhone 4 (and 3 Reasons Not To)
I knew this day would come. In fact, when I first purchased my BlackBerry Bold, I informed my provider that I was not willing to commit to the BlackBerry service for an extended period of time. I did that because I knew that at one point or another, I would be making the transition to iPhone. However, the first iPhone to come out after I started using the Bold was the 3Gs. As impressive as that extra speed was, I was not going to give up on the BlackBerry email experience for a little more processing power. So, I waited.
A Secret Twitter Feature and The New Dell Streak Tablet
Here I was, thinking I knew everything there was to know about Twitter (follow me here), and a short private conversation I had yesterday changes it all. Let me back up a little. It is no secret that I am a big sucker for new shiny mobile devices, so when Dell announced that they are entering the new tablet market, I was of course very excited. All the tech sites were reporting that Dell was releasing their 5 inch mobile phone/tablet device dubbed the Dell Streak and that it would be available in the US unlocked for $500.
The iPad Really is “Magical”
It is a good day. I just ordered my 64GB 3G iPad and I should be getting it in the coming days. I have to admit that after playing with the iPad a few times, I am more excited about getting it than I have been about any gadget I have gotten in the past. I am not going to go into the debate whether it is a magical and revolutionary device or just an oversized iPod Touch, but I will say that 95% of what I do on my laptop or even desktop, I can do better on the iPad. Yes, it does not have Flash or a webcam, but besides that, it covers all my computing needs.
Two New Tweetdeck Features That Change the Game
As time goes by, and more specifically the time by which most skeptics predicted that the “Twitter trend/fad” would end, I am only growing more dependent on Twitter (Follow me here) and using it more and more often for new purposes. I now use Twitter as my primary professional networking tool (yes I use LinkedIn, but somehow they compliment each other perfectly), my almost exclusive source of breaking news, my main online communication tool (replacing email almost), not to mention the inspiration for almost all blog posts that you see here.
Google Enters the TV Industry with Google TV
Google made some nice announcements at their recent IO. Android 2.2, dubbed Froyo seems pretty exciting especially the ability to push contacts, apps, media, and even URLs to your Android device, over the air. However, the most significant announcement was definitely Google TV. It seems every few months I write a blog post that can be called “Google Trying to Revolutionize the
