Good. I was never a fan of those commercials. They're very well made and well acted of course but I prefer the iPhone ad campaign that just shows off how good the product is.

After browsing on the iPad for the last couple of hours going back to browsing on my desktop just feels so clumsy and old fashion. I'm totally impressed by the quality of the screen and shocked that the landscape keyboard is actually very usable. Gl…

Pogue was clearly spooked by the controversy around him. His review is basically "I dunno some people will like it, some won't. What do you think?" Not much of a review. I don't think anyone reading tech news in the mainstream media is interested in…

Do people really buy/use spare batteries much anymore? I rarely see it. Problem 1: Gotta charge the second battery. For a phone that means shutting down and swapping the battery at least 3 times. Who wants to do that? Problem 2: This one battery onl…

Palm needs to offer a device more comparable with the iPhone and Android handsets with a full touch screen and software keyboard. They could do a slide keyboard like the Droid but only offering the Pixi and Pre is a big mistake. Lots of people don't…

People tend to be set top-phobic so I can see why the Apple TV is a hobby. It's hard to convince the mainstream to go out and buy another box to hookup to their TV and deal with connecting it to their home audio system, switching video inputs when n…

Personally I hate Flash and appreciate Apple's jihad against it but if I was Adobe in this situation I would publicly offer Apple an agreement for Apple to develop their own implementation of Flash for the iPhone. A partnership, source exchange, dev…

A few points: 1) I don't understand this "it's just a big iPod Touch" meme. Watch the demo -- every application was significantly re-designed using an assortment of new multi-touch UI widgets. Most third party iPad applications are going to get t…

2M does seem conservative. I can only imagine how many college kids are going to weasel one out of Mommy & Daddy as a text book reader.

It could be useful for certain tasks but I imagine these machines would still be used primarily with a keyboard & mouse.

Chrome is OK but I like being able to sync my bookmarks via MobileMe

With its current level of functionality the Apple TV just needs to be cheaper. The complexity of the current hardware platform prevents that from happening. Apple should move the ATV to an ARM SoC design and ditch local magnetic based storage. 16GB …

I think Android is going to have some trouble hitting a bigger critical mass if they keep eating their own young. The Droid was super hyped a month ago now it's almost completely forgotten because the Nexus One is getting all the hype. In another mo…
