Zite for iPad

Despite not getting a more pixel-packed display, the thinner and lighter iPad 2 is going to be a prime content consumption device, just like the O.G. iPad before it. Zite is an iPad magazine with a novel premise: it learns what you like and tailors your publication accordingly. What is it? Zite, Free, iPad. Right…

99.7% of the World’s Population Hasn’t Bought a Tablet

Here’s something to ponder: According to an 88-page report about the future of tablets by RBC analyst Mike Abramsky, only 0.3% of this planet’s inhabitants had tablets by the end of 2010. The other 99.7% didn’t seem to care about purchasing one of those gadgets. To put that in perspective, the chart above compares “the…

Motorola Xoom Tablet Costs $600 With Contract; $800 Without

Boy, tablets cost a fair whack, don’t they? $600 on a two-year contract at Verizon, or $800 without—either way, the Motorola Xoom tablet is a few hundred too many for me. Pick one up from Verizon Wireless from this Thursday, along with 1GB of data for $20 monthly. [PRNewswire]

Google OnePass Newspaper & Mag Subscriptions Are Publisher-Friendly, But Are They User-Friendly?

Apple launched its subscription service for reals yesterday. So Google’s launching theirs today. It’s called OnePass.

For publishers, it’s a better system. They can…

HTC Flyer, the Aluminium Android Tablet That Plays Console Games

Like every other 7-inch Android tablet, HTC’s Flyer is essentially a very big phone. It even looks slightly phonier than the rest. But it might be the nicest oversized phone-tablet yet. Like previous 7-inch Android tablets, it’s not running Android 3.0 Honeycomb. Instead, it’s running Android Gingerbread with HTC’s Sense software slicked over the top…

LG Keeps It Classy By Kicking Steve Jobs In the Face

LG’s apparently feeling so confident about its Optimus Pad/G-Slate—despite not much evidence they should be—that they decided to go and make a promo video wherein a flying ninja kicks Steve Jobs in the face. Starts at around the 1:00 mark. Apparently this proves something about tablet superiority. Which—aside from being entirely inappropriate, even if Jobs…

LG G-Slate Hands-On: All the Features But Still Empty-Feeling

On paper, LG’s G-Slate (or Optimus Pad, in Europe), should convince me to finally buy a tablet. It’s running Android Honeycomb—check!

True, the software wasn’t final, so some of the bugs (it crashed…

Confusingly, BlackBerry PlayBook Will Come In LTE and HSPA+ Versions As Well

RIM’s first tablet has been slated for a March release, but if you’ve been strongly considering buying one, you may want to hold off until the “second half of 2011,” which is when RIM will release LTE and HSPA+ versions—joining their two other models.

HP’s TouchPad Tablet Looks Great, But Feels Slow

Although the Touchpad I played with is not the final version, my impression of the HP TouchPad is that it is slow. Not incredibly slow.
