When I first unboxed the new iPad this morning, my first impression was “meh”. Because, as we all know, the new iPad hardware is nearly identical to the old one. While I’m a bit disappointed in the lack of physical design changes, I completely understand Apple’s thinking. Just look at the current MacBook Pro design

It’s that time of year where tech bloggers all around the world give their predictions about the future of hardware/software in 2012. I realized that I haven’t made a single prediction yet so I decided that I should at least try. Here goes:
The CyanogenMod team is at it again. This time, they’re taking on Androids’s recently released 4.0 software — otherwise known as Ice Cream Sandwich. The Ice Cream Sandwich version of CyanogenMod will be known as CyanogenMod 9 or simply CM9. But let’s not get too excited just yet as the CM team has stated:
I finally received the Nokia N9 upgrade notification on my phone on November 23rd while in Bangkok Thailand. I knew that I could have download the update onto my computer and performed a manual install off of the USB earlier but I wanted to see how the OTA upgrade worked. I was doing some traveling

Nothing in life is perfect and that even goes for the Nokia N9. I’ve already admitted in previous blogs that I love my N9. But…I do have some complaints at the same time. For one, the Facebook app is pretty weak sauce. It’s horribly slow and you are often presented with the now famous black

I read about how to make a SIM into a Micro SIM when the original iPad came out. But because I never had a device that actually used a device that required a Micro SIM, I never attempted this until just a few days ago.
I finally put my money where my mouth was when I previously stated that the Nokia N9 was the most interesting smartphone of 2011. When Apple finally announced the iPhone 4S, I honestly was a little let down with their offering. After all, nobody I know was asking for a faster processor, marginally better camera

Most of us have already heard about Amazon’s upcoming Android tablet…But did you know that Barnes and Noble is also rumored to release the Nook Color 2 in just a few weeks? Not only that, but I just read today that Lenovo is also expected to release a budget tablet very soon as well.
Now that my latest book is wrapped up, it’s time for me to choose a new technology project to pursue. On talking with an old friend who’s a software engineer, we came up with a pretty good mobile app idea that we think could be a major hit.
For those that have been following my Nook Color blogs, you’ll know that I’ve been raving about the OtterBox Commuter case that has been far and away better than every other Nook Color case I’ve seen out there. The OtterBox is strong, sleek and honestly makes the NC a better device in terms of button

I see many complaints about how Apple and their new OS X Lion update is pushing the “natural” two-finger scrolling which mimics how you would use a touchscreen device such as an iPhone or iPad. The new scrolling is completely backward from what we are accustomed to and many people are asking how to change

OtterBox is by far my favorite smartphone case company. Their products are of high quality and are really designed with the user in mind. That’s why I had really high expectations when I finally got my hands on the OtterBox Commuter Series case for the Nook Color. Needless to say, my expectations were met after

If you’re a CM7 Nook Color junkie like me than you probably wonder which of the many stable/nightly or modified versions of CyanogenMod 7 you should be running. We’ll, I’ve tried plenty of them and my favorite right now is called “Phiremod”. Phiremod is a modified version of the most stable CM7 7.0.3 OS. This

Just an FYI for all of you iPad 2 owners out there that haven’t yet found that perfect case to wrap around your new tablet, you should absolutely check out Otterbox. I have heard from a very reliable source that Otterbox is launching their Defender Series case for the iPad 2 this Friday, May 13
