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
Click to enlarge Hot on the heels of Barnes & Noble’s 3G Nook price drop (and new WiFi-only model) yesterday, Amazon responded with a reduction of their own…. coming in lower by $10. ($189 versus $199) But you already knew that. What you might not have known is that Amazon has also gone ahead and … Read more
Apple has released a version of its iBooks app for iPhone and iPod touch models running iOS 4. Up until now, iBooks was only available for the iPad.

Such as a TiVo 802.11g wireless adapter and window cling 3-pack that I uncovered during some late spring summer solstice cleaning. They don’t do much good collecting dust in a … Read more
I have no nostalgic ties to Kodak (unlike, say, Polaroid), but the brand that was once known for its 35mm film products has, in my opinion, done the best job of making the leap to the digital photo and video era. Oddly, I don’t own a Kodak camera, but this weekend I was reminded of … Read more
