Dave Zatz I’ve had a loaner iPad on hand the last month or so, and one of my first goals was to track down a case and stand (on my dime). As innovative as Apple’s 10″ tablet may be, it’s been awkward to comfortably hold and transport safely… without at least one accessory of some sort. As … Read more
In the high-end smartphone market, Nokia’s clearly been lapped. Their Symbian mobile OS was getting long in the tooth even back in 2007 when my arsenal included a N95. In fact, that was probably Nokia’s smartphone apex. At least here in the US, where they’ve worked relatively few carrier subsidies — critical in our market. Since … Read more

And first gen Kindle … Read more
TeleNav, my favorite iPhone navigation app, is headed to Verizon. And, unlike its AT&T brethren, it’s coming in at a reasonable price point. Assuming I make the jump in the next week or so, this will be one of my first purchases. The AT&T Navigator branded TeleNav app currently runs $10/month or $70/year, whereas an … Read more
Canon’s announced several new digital cameras, both of the dSLR and compact point & shoot varieties. Regulars are probably familiar with my portability prioritization at the expense of some quality. Which is why only models from the P&S lineup would appeal to me. If a camera doesn’t fit in my pocket, it’s not coming with … Read more
