Meet the HP Zeen

Meet the HP Zeen

Meet the HP eStation Zeen. It’s a tablet. But not the fabled Windows 7 tablet– that’s a whole nother story.
No, according to early FCC filings, this tablet is supposedly running everybody’s favorite, Google Android–interestingly, not webOS (more on that in a sec).
The Zeen’s “hook” is that can plug into a printer and act as the printer’s controller [...]

Verizon & Motorola come clean (and offer fix) to .1% of Droid X users with defect

I’m impressed: it takes some serious guts to stand up and say: “Hey, we screwed up.” Not: “Hey, there’s nothing wrong with our phones but take a free bumper.”

HP Buys Melodeo, Apple’s Nightmare in Progress?

HP, that big ‘ol company that just bought Palm, has acquired yet another company: Melodeo.  Melodeo is the creator of nuTsie (yes, that is an iTunes anagram), an interesting personal radio service.  As the webOS and Palm fan that I am, I can’t help but recognize the power this deal has over the webOS desktop-to-mobile [...]

Swype coming to fifty devices by year’s end (Droid X included)

Swype, a new technology that has emerged from the ashes that were T9 typing, looks very promising.
Swype makes touch-screen typing rather easy by using a seemingly advanced technology that we won’t get into. But essentially, using Swype allows you to simply drag your finger from one letter to the next without picking it up, removing [...]
