For Google TV, a Sharp Turn Away From Apple TV

Last Updated on Wednesday, 8 September 2010 12:55 Written by Phương Thùy Wednesday, 8 September 2010 12:55

As part of recent a demonstration of Google TV , Eric Schmidt said something that would probably make Steve Jobs cringe. "Once you have Google television, you're going to be very busy," the chief executive of Google said at the IFA conference in Berlin, according to Wired . "It's going to ruin your evening." It's not totally clear what Schmidt meant by that statement. The implication, I'm guessing, was that Google TV provides so many entertainment possibilities, users will get lost -- in... Detailt »»

Will Samsung’s Galaxy Tab be Pricey or Cheap? Maybe Both

Last Updated on Monday, 6 September 2010 09:03 Written by Ngọc Ánh Monday, 6 September 2010 09:03

But others quote less alarming estimates of $200 to $400 . Actually, all the figures could be correct: They involve multiple countries, and some are full price while others are what you'd pay after signing up for a 3G contract. (Samsung plans to sell the tablet exclusively through carriers, so most or all of the folks who buy... Detailt »»

Hands on with Samsung’s Galaxy Tab Tablet

Last Updated on Sunday, 5 September 2010 06:13 Written by admin Sunday, 5 September 2010 06:13

Thursday morning at the IFA show here in Berlin, I attended a Samsung press conference and watched one of the company's executives brandish its new Galaxy S tablet . It was intriguing. But I had a much better time that evening at the Showstoppers press event, where I was able to spend some time exploring the Tab for myself. The Galaxy Tab I tried clearly wasn't a done deal: Its touch-screen froze for several minutes then began to work again, and its browser didn't seem to want to load anything... Detailt »»

Collectively the devices that run iOS -- the iPhone , iPod Touch and iPad -- accounted for 1.1 percent of all hardware on the Internet last month, more than enough to shove Linux off its perch as the third-place operating system on the Web.
