    iPad Mini resolution no match for Nexus 7.

    So why does this matter to you? You like your own device - congratulations, I am happy for you. This teenage boy level, lets compare mine to yours got old in all of the forums a long time ago. If you don't like it then don't buy it. I personally think the Nexus 7 feels cheap in comparison to...

    MS Surface -big fail or serious competitor?

    Why does anyone here care? They are not targeting the same market segment and even if they were, there are lots of products on the market. BTW, they really did sell out of pre-orders in three days and are trying to fill orders for Friday by having them ship directly from the Chinese factory...

    Wireless charging... What in the world happened to that?!

    I guess you are unaware that Ontario industries are a major source of acid rain in the northeastern US and (for that matter) eastern Canada. Having your house in order means more than turning off a light and being proud of it. It also means political action to address macro level...

    Wireless charging... What in the world happened to that?!

    So you are apparently in Glasgow and you think the US is destroying the planet? I gather you are not aware that US environmental laws are still among the strongest in the First World. You might want to compare the Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Comprehensive...

    Wireless charging... What in the world happened to that?!

    When you can charge your device three to five feet away from the charger with no cable, I would suggest you might want to get out of the room. That is a lot of excess EM with which one is hanging out....

    Prime vs. Ipad 3rd Gen 1st impressions

    I am not even a fan of the iPad or anything Apple but, the Prime offers laughably poor performance largely due to Android. All you need to do is look it up since the results have been published. The Prime wins for straight-up computing power but lost almost across the board with respect to...

    No jelly bean until 2013 for US carriers

    Actually, one essential issue is that Google releases Android as open source and it really is not released in a form that would count as "gold" or RTM by Apple, Microsoft, or RIM. OEMs do a lot of customizing and layering over the base code. Google could lock down more elements of the OS but...

    Anyone Switching Over to the Surface RT?

    How do you know the marketplace is weak if are still stuck on XP? Tends to suggest a bit of a self-fulfilling prophesy on your part.

    Anyone Switching Over to the Surface RT?

    RT ships with a full version of Office 2013. You might at least read the specs since they are available on line. It also comes with a MicroSDXC, full USB port, and a few other features barely available any where in the Android tablet world. BTW, the version that you refer to as being the...

    Anyone Switching Over to the Surface RT?

    You do know that it ships with a full version of Office 2013? Anyone who is expecting any more than the WP7/8 version of Office for Android is probably in for some serious disappointment. The IOS version will certainly be pretty feature complete, largely because Microsoft and Apple do not want...

    Is the Playbook better than the Nexus 7..how?

    The PlayBook has a vastly superior OS, but (unfortunately) very poor app support. Quite frankly, having owned a PlayBook and a Transformer Prime, the apologists are as thick and heavy over here as there. People on this side have access to a greater array of hardware but constantly excuse the...

    Rumor: No LTE? Why is that upsetting?

    Not that I otherwise have any interest, but no 4G LTE support and no sale with VZW. That is their policy for inclusion of new devices for sale and use on their network....

    My wife broke my tablet should I get a Nexus 7?

    Actually, contrary to many of these posts, I would suggest not buying any 7 , 8.9, or 10 in tablet without first spending as much time playing with it as possible. I have owned both 7 in and 10 in tablets and sold the 7 in tablet because I have reasonably large hands and found maneuvering...

    Don't buy cellphones or tablets if...

    I am glad you have never been my IT person. That mantra stopped being reality for any robust OS a decade ago. The last one where I accepted that was XP (through SP 1)....

    Don't buy cellphones or tablets if...

    I guess Google has succeeded in its goal to capture market without committing to quality if anyone really believes this. While it is true that any device with any OS can crash that should be the exception, not expectation. Reality is that IOS and even WP devices run generally crash free. Too...

    Bill Burr knocks Steve Jobs, Apple down a peg on Conan. Lol.

    Yes, it always classy to criticize a dead person. It should be titled "Second Rate Comedian Gets Publicity the Lazy Way..." I never liked Jobs and have never bought an Apple product, but this sort of stuff is just stupid. Oh, BTW, how and/or why is the Android news?

    US and WW Versions of 4.1 now available for manual download

    Are you using a mobile browser? As often as not, I find them to be useless on the Asus support page. Otherwise, if you go to the US site, click services, then support, then downloads, then type Prime and hit search, it will take you to the various Prime downloads. The 4.1 files are at the top...
