Yesterday afternoon I received an email alert from Microsoft that they are taking pre-orders for their new tablet. This is the one based on the Intel Atom (like the net books) and Windows 8 RT (not the real full blown Windows 8). But, I thought I’d give it a go …
We have tablets. We have e-books. We enjoy reading them on tablets. Comic books? Even better! Especially with our fancy color screens. So, what better than a comic book about Steve Jobs and Zen? Am I right or am I right? I went to send the sample to my Kindle …
Yes, it’s finally announced! I’m embarrassed to say how many iPads I own – first and second generation. I know it inspires “the look” from my wife. However, I’ve already ordered four new third generation iPads for myself and staff. Why? Because the new retina display alone is worth it …

My poor Acer Iconia A500 Tablet has been looking for the 3.1. I seemed everyone else was getting it. And so, it finally arrived! The Android OS regulary checks for system updates. It finally “found” one – the big one – from 3.0 to 3.1. Either Acer or Google releases …
Here I sit. Clicking on check system updates. Frowning at my Acer. Texas has it. England has it. Arizona has it. I don’t. I knew the Acer Iconia only had Android OS 3.0.1 when I bought it. But I also knew Acer would update it. Its an over-the-wire update, so …
