    the tablet war is heating up

    Flash works plenty fine on mobile. I haven't had it crash a single time in three months. Is it buttery smooth 100% of the time? No. Does it frequently crash? No. Could you use a set of headphones with a built in mic? Admittedly the lack of support for expandable memory is a big no for...

    Elder Scrolls : Skyrim

    That could be a good thing. The annoying thing about Oblivion was how closely creatures level with you. You never felt like you'd gained any power... Banshee

    the tablet war is heating up

    Netflix just redesigned the Android tablet app.....the new version is actually a big improvement. No app download necessary. Just works as soon as you turn Netflix on. It seems lately like the rate at which new apps are getting onto the Android tablets appears to be picking up. Possibly...

    the tablet war is heating up

    Thanks for the tip! That would help for my iPhone. My tablet has unlimited storage, so it's less of an issue. The only difference being that I have no control over what pieces of content I want to make available to someone else, unlike Dropbox. I haven't used PoGoplug yet, so I'll see how it...

    the tablet war is heating up

    Hmm...I just found a cool feature of the Android Market. I didn't realize it before, but apparently you can "try before you buy" with apps. Basically, if you purchase an app, you have 15 minutes during which you can try it out and if you don't like it "return it", and get your money back...

    Proof --Terra Nova # 8/Season I 2011

    This could explain why *some* of the dinosaurs don't appear to correlate to actual species. Banshee

    the tablet war is heating up

    Hmm....depends on what you're looking for. Most polished Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 -this one has the cleanest lines, and is the most "Apple-like" in terms of polish. It's accused of being an Apple knockoff, but it's a completely different aspect ratio and runs Android instead of iOS so they're...

    the tablet war is heating up

    There's lots of it out there. Stuff as simple as NHL.com - The National Hockey League. The mobile (non-Flash) version of the site isn't nearly as nice as the Flash enabled desktop experience. As to platform buy in, it's a legitimate problem. It's somewhat mitigated by the fact that so many...

    the tablet war is heating up

    Because HTML 5 isn't capable of half of what Flash is. Yeah, if you want to just show movies, or have a simple animation on a website, then yeah, HTML 5 will do it, but it's in its infancy compared to Flash, and does not really support the development of rich application environments...which...

    the tablet war is heating up

    For managing content, you literally plug your phone or tablet in via USB cable, and drag and drop files via Windows Explorer. It's that easy. None of the headaches Apple's been in the past. If you want to do something like move an iPhone music collection over, you download Doubletwist from...

    the tablet war is heating up

    How does that app work for you? Is it one where the computer connected to the printer has be on, and you use the app, it sends the job to the printer through the PC, and your stuff gets printed? The ones for Android require individual apps for each manufacturer. That's a bit of a pain....but...

    the tablet war is heating up

    I wouldn't minimize the importance of several of those features. My *understanding* is that even though the iPad 2 has a dongle it *still* can't replicate several things. I read on a tech advice column that even *with* the USB dongle, the iPad can only pull stuff *off* a flash drive....it...

    the tablet war is heating up

    For whatever reason, though there are different add-ons that individually handle pieces of that functionality, nobody seems to have made an add-on like the Transformer's keyboard that does all of it in one piece of equipment. I'm not just harping on Apple in this case. There's a bluetooth...

    [November] What are you reading?

    I hope it's not going to be another 6 years. I'll have to go find a topic involving discussions of this. The way it was left, we don't have definite proof that this happened. I think what shocked me though was that this wasn't the last big reveal. I thought that was it, and yet the twists...

    the tablet war is heating up

    A $70 bluetooth keyboard doesn't charge your iPad, or include USB ports or SD card slots does it ? Those have all been part of the overall utility of the Transformer that I posted about above.....if I'm mistaken, so be it, but the bluetooth keyboards I've seen didn't have those features.....and...

    [November] What are you reading?

    Wow.....getting close to end....probably another 40 pages. Hope that this part I just read isn't quite done. :( Banshee

    [November] What are you reading?

    I'm reading through A Dance with Dragons. It's slow going.....I'm enjoying it, and I can feel it's starting to build towards something....but admittedly it was hard to get into....it's been 6 years since A Feast for Crows, so there are a lot of characters that I've forgotten about, and only put...

    Siri is a UI game changer

    Even Apple doesn't say it's bad to keep your device plugged in. You have a limited number of charge cycles before battery life is reduced. The important thing is at least once a month to go through a complete discharge. A charge cycle is a 0-100% charge-decharge. So, going from 100 to 80% 5x...
