My quest for an acceptable Android tablet continues. I returned the ASUS Transformer Prime directly to ASUS due to a litany of problems that no number of returns could seem to resolve. I returned the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7” because it’s name was way too long for blogging (just kidding; I returned it because [...]
I’ve been trying out the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, which is a very nicely priced Android Ice Cream Sandwich tablet at $249. I recently returned the Transformer Prime to ASUS* due to a number of issues that I simply couldn’t resolve, and I was hoping that the GT2 would serve as a low-cost way [...]
I posted a quick video on YouTube comparing the Wifi performance of the new iPad with the ASUS Transformer Prime (ATP).

Android tablets have failed to attain any significant market success (unless you include the Amazon Kindle, and you probably shouldn’t), and so [...]

I abhor piracy, and believe it’s government’s legitimate responsibility to take strong action against it. My understanding of SOPA/PIPA is that it is too vague and gives government too much power, and is not the [...]
Ever have a hard time on an Android tablet in setting an image as the wallpaper? Using the Gallery app, you’re pretty much forced to crop the image and have no way to select the entire thing. Before today, I hadn’t found an app that will let an entire image as the wallpaper. Today, though, [...]
