Rumor: Google Chrome tablet to come in time for holidays

Well, it’s about time. With barely any competition in the tablet computer market, the iPad has had a pretty long head start on everyone else. Not that there hasn’t been reports of all sorts of tablets out there — from Android, WebOS, Windows 7 and even Blackberry, with its supposed Blackpad. But now, it looks like we could finally have a real…

iPod Touch Killer: Archos 32, good things come in small packages

Archos, the French tablet maker, was probably the first to make an Android powered tablet, but their reviews have always been mixed. This time Archos is taking aim at the iPod Touch with a 3.2 inch device. Does this tablet have the stuff to compete with the iPod, and truly be an “iPod Killer,” or is there no more room in this market? Here…

TiP Off: Droid X vs. iPhone 4

The Droid X and the iPhone 4 are the heavyweight champions on their respective carriers. Both handsets offer features that are a cut above the rest, so let’s take a look at what happens when these two devices go head to head. The Droid X is the third in the Droid series on Verizon, and runs Google’s Android OS. The iPhone 4 is (well you probably guessed)…

Win7 Tablet holds its own against iPad

The news in regards to Windows 7 Tablets have been mainly negative for a while. The courier was canceled, and a lot of people thought that Microsoft was giving up. Now, despite claims that Windows 7 is just too bulky for a tablet, we get this video of the Hanvon Slate running Windows 7 (below). I have to admit, this Win7 Tablet not only seems to be hold…

4 generations of iPhone (video)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snMvWGzJTxw&=feature_player Apple must be doing something right. As you can see in the video above, the iPhone gets progressively faster as each new model is released. Here we spend all this time talking about what Apple did wrong in terms of the antenna, but they also did so much right. You can also see how much better…

iPad data costs compared by country

Here in the United States, AT&T suffers from an extremely negative persona and poor customer relations. When the iPad launched, the carrier actually gained some traction by not requiring a contract when purchasing 3G data. Unfortunately, at $14.99 for 250MB of data per month, and $25 for 2GB per month, iPad data pricing is high for…

Is PUMA Phone the next “iPhone Killer”?

Has PUMA, the popular sports brand, found a new prey going by the name Apple? Unlike the iPhone, the PUMA phone’s release was quiet. Being only released in Europe — in places like Italy, France, and Germany, to name a few — we haven’t seen much of it over here in the States. But I like this phone, and for some people, I even think it could be…

Hold the phone: Signal strength of iPhone 4 vs 3GS

Despite the ridiculously big 1.7m sales numbers for the iPhone 4, there are still a lot of people undecided between the latest Apple handset and one of the discounted iPhone 3GS models that’s currently being offered. If you’re one of them, you might be interested in this latest signal test. TUAW’s Erica Sadun developed a custom iPhone app…

TiP off: Specs of Dell Streak vs. iPhone 4

The battle between Android and iPhone is becoming legendary, especially lately. Until the Motorola Backflip came out earlier this year, the iPhone’s sole US cellular provider, AT&T, had no Android devices. Since then, there have been rumors floating around that the carrier could hold up to 5-6 Google-powered handsets by the end of the year. When I heard…
