The Passing away of former Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, on October 5, 2011 came as a shock to many. He passed away too young and undoubtedly with plenty of innovative ideas. Like they say, "The Good Die Young". Jobs' imprint and influence on Apple will remain for years. However, his management team can no longer…

India has launched what it says is the world's cheapest touch-screen tablet computer, priced at just NGN 6,000 ($35). Costing a fraction of Apple's iPad, the subsidised Aakash is aimed at students. It supports web browsing and video conferencing, has a three-hour battery life and two USB ports, but questions remain over how it will…

The following article was published in Gizmodo and, expectedly, my response to it is very predictable. Why would i want to settle for less? It is quite obvious to many that the iPad 2 that the Kindle Fire is being compared to is still lacking in features. Let's face it, what everyone (unconsciously) hopes for…

When I first read the official announcement of the Blackberry Playbook back in 2010 I said to myself: great, finally a tablet to take on the iPad. But that was more than six months before the actual retail debut. In the meanwhile Apple released the iPad 2 and we’ve also seen a bunch of good…

We have all seen them come and go, the supposed iPad killers. There was the Motorola Xoom, then the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 and some even touted the HP TouchPad. Well, i guess we all know too well how they ended up. The latest device being bandied around now is the yet un-named and still unintroduced…

Smartphones and tablets might be the current hot technology, but history says it’s all just another fad. Twenty years from now, almost nobody will own either device. Seems unbelievable, but the same technology that makes them hot today will make them not tomorrow. If this sounds ridiculous, consider what happened to another “must-have” technology that…

As desirable as the iPad has proven itself to be, it is not exactly very efficient for all tasks. Even for simplest tasks, at times you may crave for the bigger screen estate that the conventional PC offers. However, on the other hand, the iPad can effectively serve as an extension of your work while…

Really, i thought it was just me on my high horse but reading through Gizmodo, i realized it wasn't just me! What exactly is Nokia thinking?!
