The Death of HP's WebOS

What a shocker! Well, probably, not really a shocker. Within a mere weeks of launching their TouchPad, HP announced that it will kill off it's WebOS devices. And for good reason; sluggish sales.

So who's to blame?

BlackBerry PlayBook Review

I've been wanting a non-iOS tablet for a while now. I had purchased a Nook Color and rooted it to install Android Froyo and Honeycomb on it. But after using it for a while I got bored and decided to sell it. In fact I managed to make a few bucks by selling it. There have been a lot of Android tablets that have been introduced over the last few weeks. The Asus Transformer looks like a good buy for $399 with hardware configurations similar to the Motorola Xoom.

On a recent visit to Best Buy I got a chance to see a RIM BlackBerry PlayBook

Coby CSMP88: A 3D Soundbar Speaker System Reviewed

I've been in the market for a compact yet good sounding speaker system for a while now. I wanted something not too expensive either. I have a Bose Wave Music System hooked to my Mac Mini at my workstation and I love the sound. Getting another one wasn't practical and besides, at $500, it is way too expensive for my budget. I did some research, visited my local electronics stores and talked to a few people about my options. Then, I stumbled upon the Coby CSMP88 Multimedia 3D Soundbar Speaker System. Here is a quick review.

iOS Car Integration

I currently have an after-market Sony car stereo system installed in my car and it gets the job done. The biggest reason why I went out and got an after-market stereo put in was to be able to have iPod integration. My car stereo didn't come with it and it doesn't have a USB port either. The Sony system works well and I connect my iPhone to it each time I'm in the car to either play songs in my iPod, Pandora or the SiriusXM Satellite Radio app.

Possibly, A Photography Blog?

I am thinking of starting a photography blog. I do a lot of traveling, to both near and far places and always have my camera with me. Well at least my iPhone 4 which has a pretty awesome camera. This idea is still in the planning stage. I am wondering about how to construct my blog page and how do I get my pictures up there.

The best way, probably, is to

My iPad 2 buying experience

Yes it's March 11, 2011! But before this iPad 2 launch day arrived we were all hit by the shocking news about the 8.9 magnitude earthquake in Japan which triggered Tsunamis and warnings in 20 different countries worldwide. A couple of the harbors here in California were affected from the wave of destruction that originated a whole Pacific Ocean across. It's been a day full of mixed emotions and the loss of life in Japan is a terrible thing. Unfortunately this day will be remembered for all the wrong reasons.

The earthquake made the launch of the iPad 2 a little subdued for me but I was still excited to get mine.

iPad 2: A Competition Killer!

Apple has just finished unveiling the iPad 2 this morning at an event in San Francisco where, despite being on medical leave, Steve Jobs made a surprising appearance and introduced the device. It was good to see Steve looking good and healthy. I think he is absolutely crucial to sustaining Apple's wow factor.
