Sneak Peak: Google Crome OS Tablet

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 23:44:19 +0100

Google is taking a different approach with Chrome OS. Instead of programs running straight on the computer's hardware and its underlying Linux operating system, Chrome OS applications run directly in the browser. The product is still under development and will launch later this year. Should Apple be nervous? We think so!

It may not be rocket science, but you know you love a good spork when you can get your hands on one. The problem is plastic ones usually break and do not fair well in the dishwasher. T.A.D. Gear has created the spork of the future! This handy and attractive gadget is made from titanium alloy, which makes this spork indestructible. It also includes a pocket clip, so you can spork on the road and finally stop stealing them from Taco Bell. Available HERE for $33.95.

Tech of the Week. 10.20.09

Well, while I have been known to change my mobile phone quite often, this is a device I really can't wait to get my hands on. I started the year out with a Blackberry 8320 then moved onto the 8900. I loved it [until it started crapping out on me and restarting of it's own free will]. Then I moved on to the iPhone [which I'm currently using] and I love it. Unfortunately, there is always the lingering fact that I am a T-Mobile subscriber and I will never be able to enjoy the full potential of the iPhone.

T-Mobile is finally getting a Motorola phone that is worth talking about. Available now only to current T-Mo subscribers, the CLIQ is the latest Android phone to hit the market. My favorite feature [believe it or not] is the physical keyboard. I can't stand the fact that the iPhone does not offer a physical keyboard and I'm tired of it's incompetent auto-correct [today, I texted Joey the words "lip balls" instead of "lip balms", thanks to auto-correct]. Of course, I love all the apps on the iPhone, the AndroidMarket seems to have a sufficient supply apps to satisfy my needs.

With MOTOBLUR, the phone keeps me constantly connected to everything I need to be connected to. Twitter - check! Facebook - check! EverythingGoogle - check! Compared with iPhone's push notification, the CLIQ offers continuous updating of all your social applications. Not to mention, it's a very nice looking device.

More Features: 5-megapixel camera, 3G and WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, microSD card slot, MMS without the AT&T hassle and full integration of Google Mobile Services.

It may sound like I've already played around with the phone...I haven't. I ordered it last night and expect it by the end of the week! I am very excited to get it and figure out everything it can do. When I can give a true account of which is better [iPhone or CLIQ], I'll let you know.

Tech of the Week. 9.11.09

Just when we thought Apple had come up with everything, they outdid themselves. On 09.09.09, Apple, Inc. introduced a new iPod Nano.....with a video camera and FM tuner.

Ok, so maybe not all of us were hoping for the FM tuner, but it's still a great addition to the iPod Nano. The video camera, on the other hand, was a genius idea because our iPods go everywhere we go. Have you ever been on a train and saw something highly entertaining [like a fight or a serious fashion offender?] but couldn’t whip out your camera phone because it only takes 10 seconds of video? Well, those days are over because the new iPod Nano will record about 8 hours of video.

So on your next jog, listen to some old school FM radio and catch some video of the ever-so-entertaining world that revolves around you.

So, if you remember my I Want It! post, you'll know that I've been jonesing for a Kindle. Well, much to my delight, Barnes & Noble has recently released an eBook reader for Blackberry. Now I can keep my current reading selection on hand for just the right moment of boredom!

You can purchase new books directly from your device (currently available on iPhone/iPod Touch, PC, Mac and Blackberry) and instantly download them to your available memory. Mine go directly to my memory card so if I need to switch devices, my books go with me.

Upon download, you also receive 6 free eBooks, including a handy Merriam-Webster dictionary. Click HERE to find out more about it and to download it.

I'm definitely using this while tanning on my cruise (only 3 weeks away!!).

The Amazon Kindle

Something I've been wanting for quite some time now is the Amazon Kindle. I just want to be able to take my books with me wherever I go. This device is awesome and totally lets me do that. It works on a (free) 3G network, provided by Sprint, so you can instantly download new titles, its as thin as a pencil and it'll even read to you.....that is, if you cant read for yourself. With the capacity to hold over 1,500 books, you can take your reading library with you anywhere. If you like to read and you've got $400 to spare, pick this one up.

To buy, read about and get the full listing of Kindle features, click HERE.
