We all know the iPad sells well (well other than BlackBerry’s CEO). But how well? According to a report coming out of IDC, the iPad maker’s shipments have dropped below 40% of the total tablet shipments. However, it was still at least doubling the second place manufacturer, which was without much surprise, Samsung. This however has shown that over the past…
It may be safe to say that sanity has left the building up at BlackBerry headquarters. Just read the following quite from its CEO: In five years I don’t think there’ll be a reason to have a tablet anymore. Maybe a big screen in your workspace, but not a tablet as such.

Well, a recent survey decided to ask consumers what tablet they plan to buy (assuming they plan to buy one). The results were, well, overwhelmingly…
For those of you who like to buy lots and lots of technology, Apple just made it a little easier for you to buy your iPad minis in bulk. Up until now, Apple had implemented a 2 iPad mini limit per order to try and keep up with demand.
