Sounds like hair-splitting to me. "That's touch panel makers being reluctant" ....Because Apple created a run on the market. As a result of Apple's actions, Amazon's plans could be screwed. Now, you can suggest that it's all dog-eat-dog, first-come-first-served, or that Amazon getting screwed...

Yeah, that's a good review. Here's one from CNet: Toshiba Thrive AT105-T1032 Review - Watch CNET's Video Review What caught my attention is that they gave it 4 stars, which they haven't done for a tablet since the iPad2. So what I'm left wondering now is whether I should wait to see what will...

Well, you can't have looked all that hard. There's plenty of scuttlebutt to that effect. Try googling for titles like "Apple iPad 2 chokes Amazon tablets". Or "Is Apple Buying Up All the Parts for Amazon's Tablet?" Or "Amazon Could Be Held Back By Apple". Those were three that popped in a quick...

So, the Toshiba Thrive has arrived, and it looks like I'm going to b getting one unless I find a shoe dropping while I'm sifting through reviews. Remember what I said was the one other thing besides Flash that a tablet has to have going for it? Sure you do. Ports, baby. HDMI? Check. USB? Mini...

I've been around that mulberry bush. Any massive upgrade has a certain margin of failure. You can just backup your device in iTunes before running the upgrade, and restore if anything goes awry.

I respect your desire for civlity, but you are directing your finger-waggling in the wrong direction. My minor musing about "magical" technology triggered a rather testy barb from Fast Learner, as if he had been personally provoked. Which he wasn't. The response was totally disproportionate and...

Took about twelve minutes to get this far using safari, but I just couldn't resist... Sent from iPhone

Small screen by current standards is < 4". The iPhone is 3.8". Oh, and my vision is not great, so I'm not a good consumer model in that respect. Did I mention that I own an iPhone? I'm certain I did. That's because it was the better product at the time, and once we actually hear what the heck...

This is all the continuation of a topic that's been around a long time. Windows is often criticized as the ultimate resource hog, and the response to that is that it hogs resources because it is primed for the user to be doing tons of stuff at once. There is certainly always a trade-off to be...

Indeed, Comixology has produced something mighty fine, both with their native comic reader app and the various skins they've come up with for Marvel and DC. If my iPhone had a larger screen, I'd be indulging regularly. However, Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited is a separate kettle of fish...

I ask you: what market? What trend? There is no market, no sweet spot. The singular success--and thus the only one that can be threatened--is the iPad. One example is not a basis for a pattern. Rather, the patterns to be seen take place at a broader level, with consumers showing increasing...

The point I was covering isn't that the iPad is doing better than any one tablet. Rather, it's dominating the entire market at the 90% marker or better. Which I'm fine with for the most part. I take pride that I buy products based on their actual merits, not their branding. I think we will...

I remember watching CNet's Buzz Out Loud a week or so ago and the topic that came up was a report that the iPad dominated the tablet market by some ridiculously high percentage. Donal Bell, the resident tablet reviewer, mused that he's gotta start giving out some better reviews. I don't think...

Here's CNet's, which gives it 3.5 starts (they gave the iPad 4, and pretty much every other major tablet effort 3.5): HP TouchPad Review - Watch CNET's Video Review Here's Engadget (7/10): HP TouchPad Review - Watch CNET's Video Review Lots of reviews out now. They're pretty much all praising...

Well, the HP Touchpad reviews are starting to roll in. And if we're going to talk about the iPhone, why not the 4.7" screen smartphone that HTC announced? That's almost a tablet!

Consider all the potentially great threads that wither on the vine in this forum, and then consider how much of the last couple of pages we've spent gabbing about a crack in one guy's iPhone screen. Insane.

Comparable to a Terry Gilliam film trainwreck? Better or worse?

Are there Coyotes in Hollywood? Because otherwise, the naming convention doesn't seem very consistent. Nonetheless, this is some tantalizing rumormongering about Amazon's alleged upcoming tablet: Amazon prepping dual-core 'Coyote' and quad-core 'Hollywood' tablets for 2011

And hey, what's the deal with the black box? I mean, really. if it's designed to survive a plane crash intact, why not build the entire plane out of the black box??? Thanks, you've been a great audience. Sorry about your wife's phone, but I couldn't resist. I too know the pain of a cracked...

Marvel had their halfway-reboot with the Ultimate titles a long time ago. The films borrow liberally from them rather than the classic versions (e.g. Nick Fury).
