Rumor: Nokia’s N810 Going WiMax?

Engadget appears to have information that Nokia has announced their WiMax-enabled N810 Internet Tablet device before the CTIA show. Of course, that also suggests Nokia will be announcing the pocketable wonder at the CTIA show. If true, the N810 could represent a form of competition in the offing for the iPhone. If you’ve never used one [...]

Review: HP iPAQ 110 Classic

Crap! I left my 640x480 display in my 211 Professional!!PDAs aren’t dead really, they’ve just withdrawn from the scene. The reality is that the concept of a PDA has become so ingrained in our daily lives we don’t even notice them any more. Some devices take the form of one of the abilities of PDAs and refine them, like the Apple iPod or Archos’ line of PMPs. It was, however, the convergence of the mobile phone with the PDA which really struck a cord. The Handspring Treo and the early RIM Blackberry devices started the inexorable move to the smartphone. There are, however, a few standard PDAs remaining.

The HP iPAQ 110 Classic is one of those devices. Its not a phone, but it might as well be.

I should be performing a formal review, so let that begin.

CTL Announces NetBook 2Go Lappy

Okay. If you’ve seen it on Engadget or Gizmodo you’ve most likely been told that it was an Intel Netbook, a concept device based on Intel’s own new Atom processors designed for MIDs (Mobile Internet Device). Well, apparently its not. Its actually a new CTL NetBook and its being pushed into educational markets (what isn’t). The [...]

MacDayLA: Hands On With Axiotron’s ModBook

Whahooee! Its a tablet. I still don't like tablets, but I love me some ModBook!I’ll start by offering my apologies. The ModBook has been in play for some time now and I have failed to get one, despite the fact that their offices are located mere miles away from ours! So, at MacDayLA who else do I come across but Axiotron and their slick ModBook. I sat down and spent some time with the ModBook with Sigthor from Axiotron’s marketing department. One interesting tidbit, the founder and creator of the ModBook is Andreas Haas, the last director of operations for Apple Europe’s Newton division. Yeah. The guy has a thing for handhelds and handwriting recognition.
