There Are Tablets Better Than the iPad. They’re Just Not Out Yet

The HP TouchPad and Motorola Xoom are legitimate threats to the iPad. And if they were available now, I’d buy them over an iPad. Here’s why: Hardware It’s been over a year since the iPad was first announced and in that year, its age is starting to show. The shine is off, the wrinkles are…

Apple Embraces OLED In Enticing New Patents

It’s hard to find a display crisper than OLED; you don’t need to look much further than LG’s 32-inch OLED TV for proof. So how come we don’t see the technology in laptops? Apple’s apparently been asking the same question. The three Cupertino patents dug up today over at Patently Apple indicate that Apple’s majorly…

Hot on the heels of yesterday’s EA fire sale, Capcom’s got some great $1 titles of its own—including Street Fighter IV (!), Resident Evil 4 (both iPhone and iPad), Phoenix Wright, and Devil May Cry 4 Refrain.

Watch a Young Steve Jobs Get Nervous About Being on TV

This is a clip of a young Steve Jobs appearing on a local TV show, it’s probably one of the first times he appeared on TV and it’s just awesome. But I can’t figure out what I like most about the video. Is it the lovely 70’s facial hair? The shock on his face and…

Verizon iPhone 4 Reportedly Falls Prey To Death Grip

You’d think that after protracted debacle of the AT&T iPhone 4’s attenuation problems, Apple would have made absolutely certain to fix the issue completely before the Verizon version hit. But this iLounge video indicates otherwise. Antennagate 2.0? To be fair, this hasn’t been a widely reported issue either in reviews or by word of mouth.…

Verizon iPhone 4 Non-Review: No Really, Just Wait.

The Verizon iPhone 4 is here. It’s been exhaustively reviewed and it’s exactly what we thought it would be. We still think you should wait. From the reviews, it’s clear that it is the better than the AT&T iPhone 4 in the following ways: • Clearer (but not perfect) calls, with more reliable reception in…

Did Apple Seriously Forbid a Guy From Selling iPad Cutting Boards?

Well, this is awkward: According to a fellow named Dean Kaplan, Apple told him to stop making and selling cutting boards that look like iPads. Supposedly the reason given was that there are likeness issues. What on earth, Apple? It’s just a piece of wood with a bit of paint on it, not a realistic…

Not All iPhone Apps Work on Verizon Without Tweaks

Apparently iPhone apps that need to have deeper access to the hardware, like Telenav’s navigation, need a specific Verizon version in order to work. It might be due to differences between GSM vs. CDMA radios, or the GPS chip. [ZDNet]

Verizon’s iPhone Could Have Been a World Phone
