Check Mate: Apple’s iPad and Google’s Next Move

There is an axiom that the biggest game-changers often result from ideas that, at first blush, seem easy to dismiss. So it goes with yesterday’s launch of the iPad, Apple’s entry into what they call the ‘third category’ of device — the middle ground that exists between smartphone and laptop.

HTC Snap Cell Phone Review–Great Controls!

So I finally got my hands on an HTC Snap cell phone to try out, and it was kind of a surprise to me.  Despite the fact that the thing LOOKED like a Blackberry, it actually offered a much better control scheme, as far as I was concerned.  But that wasn’t all it offered.

Did Nintendo pass on Natal?

It’s too early to say whether Natal will be a hit — too early to really even say if it works or not, really — but we know it’s captured the imaginations of gamers and developers alike. But apparently it didn’t impress Nintendo when they were (allegedly) pitched with an early version of the tech back in 2007 . To be fair, it was in a rougher state than we have seen it, and of course Nintendo already had a working motion control technology and another in the works.

With iPad, Apple Still Has a Fatal Attraction for AT&T

When Steve Jobs said Apple’s new iPad tablet would have 3G data service from AT&T during Wednesday’s press conference, sighs of disgust could be heard from the audience, presumably from disgruntled iPhone customers. Prior to the unveiling of the 9.7-inch device Wednesday, a few vague rumors suggested Verizon would carry the tablet. Instead, Jobs announced two versions of the iPad: a Wi-Fi only model and an unlocked, Wi-Fi + 3G model for use on GSM networks

Apple’s Tablet E-Book App Rips off Indie Dev’s Creation

We love the iPhone book-reading app Classics, and apparently Apple does, too. The iPad tablet includes an app called iBooks, and its similarities to Classics are beyond the realm of coincidence. The UI is the same idea: a shelf of books that you can tap to choose a title.
