Dave Zatz Everyone’s favorite $99 media streamer saw five new channels launch last night, bringing Roku’s total partner count up to 42. (Obviously, some are better than others.) The newcomers, as cut & paste from Roku’s forum: SUNIMI loads of free content – create your own – share with friends Roxwel Free Rock, Metal, Indie, and Alternative … Read more
The first round of iPhone 4 reviews (and a teardown) are in. But given the Gizmodo thing and prior announcement coverage, it doesn’t look like there’s much more to say. The most polished phone upped its game in both design and performance… yet is still shackled to AT&T. Engadget USA Today New York Times Wall … Read more

And for some time, I’ve been saying eReaders need to drop under $150 for mass market adoption (and preferably even lower). Border’s Kobo was first to announce that more comfortable price point. However, they’ve … Read more
