The TouchPad 4G Is Faster in Every Way

The TouchPad 4G is just like the TouchPad I wanted to love so badly—but it’s got a faster 1.5GHz processor and it’s on AT&T’s sorta-4G network (with GPS powers too). https://gizmodo.com/hp-touchpad-review-unbreak-my-heart-5816916 No word on pricing—or availability, though I’d guess “soon”—but for the love of god, avoid the two-year contract on this and every other tablet,…

Tablet Sales Are Just Fine, Thank You

Seems a few people forgot to read IDC’s tablet report extra carefully this weekend and as a result of that the whole tablet thing was deemed to have come up short of “lofty expectations” or something. But they’re actually fine. The IDC report, you see, only covered that period of time between January to March…

Where to Get That $80 HTC Flyer Stylus for Free

Honestly, I’m surprised HTC has the audacity to price a flippin’ stylus at $80 in the first place. Even if it can sketch and do all sorts of magical tricks like make sandwiches.

HP Touchpad Exposes Its Innards For All To See

Can a Simple Film Overlay Magically Transform a 2D Screen into a 3D One?

Take a sheet of Pic3D film, apply it to any LCD and it promises that it will properly display 3D video (displayed in the side-by-side format) without special glasses, thanks to lenticular lens technology. How well this actually works remains to be seen by the masses, but the Pic3D film will begin shipping in August…
