For those of old enough to remember the wonders of the original Walkman, it represented a new freedom that we had never known before. The ability to go in so many places and perform activities such as jogging and biking while listening to music made it epic. MP3 players and the iPod in particular changed that, of course, but now old-schoolers can reminisce with the Cassette Tape to MP3 Converter for the iPod….

Have you ever held an iPad? Let me rephrase… Have you ever held an iPad for any length of time? They can become quite uncomfortable to try and position so you can enjoy your gadget the best possible way without having to strain your arms or crank your neck. You my friend need an iPad floor stand so you can watch your movies and read your E-Books in style and luxury. The floor stand will telescope, tilt and swivel so you can adjust it to your level of relaxation without causing you tension. You can easily navigate your apps, or relocate the stand with ease so you can be sitting, standing or reclining while…

The competition has been getting stronger. Despite continued domination by Apple in the tablet market with their single-size offering, rumors are spreading that they are considering a smaller version of the iPad to compete with the Amazon, Google, and Microsoft amongst others going after the cheaper tablet marketing. This would be a mistake. Instead of taking on the Google Nexus 7 (which started shipping last week), the Amazon Kindle Fire (with a new version expected in the 4th quarter this year), and other offerings with Android and Microsoft software, an “iPad mini” would do more to cannibalize…

With everyone being on the go these days, it’s only natural that the smart small business or entrepreneur would take advantage of the technology that is now available. If you’re in the know, you’ll be able to utilize your mobile phone’s technology to collect payments for services rendered while you are at an event, away from your business’ central location, or just out and about. Apps such as GoPayment, Square, Pay Anywhere, Sailpay, and Sage are prime for growing your business while on the go. GoPayment offers users a free card swipe dongle that attaches to your mobile phone. With no…

The fourth generation of mobile communications, to nobody’s surprise, offers extremely high downlink rates and in the case of Long Term Evolution (LTE), this can theoretically reach 100 MB per second. The question is; what is LTE technology all about?   Enter 4G with LTE LTE is a bundle of improvements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) being worked on by the third Generation Mobile Communications standards, one notch higher than the second generation (2G) of mobile communications. Usually, it is speed that determines the generation any technology falls in….

It was probably pretty cool to you the first time you ever tried it on a smartphone or tablet, but the days of being impressed with such things are behind us. Today, if a phone doesn’t automatically adjust orientation when we turn it, the thing has to be broken, right? Remember back, for a moment, to the first few times you saw your iPhone or other device do it. Remember wondering how it worked? The technology behind it is extremely impressive and a lot more complex than we probably know. The technique required to mold the silicon combined with the precision it takes to work with something so small is mind-blowing….

Incessant gossip surrounding iPad/iPhone releases and future features is the only thing more persistent in the tech rumor mill than the mythical Facebook phone. It’s coming, then it dies, then it’s in production, then it was never even considered; the information coming out of Menlo Park (and Palo Alto when they were there) as well as reliable sources do more flip flops about the Facebook phone than most politicians. Most. Now, it appears that the rumors may have some real weight to them. The project which was reported scrapped last year may have been up and running the whole time. Code-named…

HP has not had much luck in their early attempts at penetrating the tablet market after launching and subsequently canning their WebOS TouchPad in less than 2 months. They’re hoping that luck will change and they are officially making Windows 8 their operating system of choice after rumors surrounding the partnership were leaked last month. It will be comparable to the iPad but with minor improvements such as a thinner body and longer battery life to try to succeed where Android tablets have failed: cracking the full-size tablet market that Apple completely dominates. Rumors of a smaller iPad…

It was supposed to be the iPad killer and in many ways it was. Well, it didn’t kill the iPad, but it took a small chunk out of its dominance during the Christmas rush of 2011. Apple may want to return the favor if rumors are true about a 7-inch iPad with retina display. Rumors are rumors but when Apple is involved, they tend to make news. If it’s true in whole or in part (and there’s no reason why Apple wouldn’t want to attack the market before next Christmas) then it could mean that the one place where Android devices (and particularly the Amazon Kindle Fire) still has playing room may be torn down by the Apple…
