Amazon To Destroy iPad In One Move? That Easy?

It hasn’t been that long since I mocked Amazon for imminently announcing a new tablet to the world based on an older version of Android based purely on their weight in the Kindle space. Well, today the online vendor that we all know and love brought us not one major tablet announcement, but several geared directly at undermining Apple’s iPad share. Will Cupertino be able to release $500 tablets after this when Amazon is filling out the range below? We’ll certainly see. Key points after the break!

iPhone 5 To Be Unveiled On October 4th, Still Not Be As Cool As Android

Well, it looks like it’s finally here: Apple is set to unveil the next iPhone in just over a week. Now, we’ve talked about this thing before and there’s been plenty of leaks, but now we’re going to see the real deal and odds are, we’re going to see new CEO Tim Cook unveiling the thing. He’s not quite the stage presence that Jobs was, but I guess we can take the old lug! At this point, it remains to be seen whether this is going to be a single-model unveiling or perhaps several, but Apple has a long way to go if they want to beat Android at this point.

The Real Issues With The New Facebook

I guess a lot of you use Facebook? Maybe you’ve heard about the changes? Hm? Lots of people have opinions on the new stuff that the world’s largest social network is implementing and there’s been a lot of uproar and blah-de-blah about giving away information (those people comprise the Island of Misfit Toys) and some stuff that isn’t even true. Regardless, now having spent some time with the new Timeline feature and some of the cooler aspects of the new service, which I love, there are some niggling aspects to this newest wave of changes that just don’t iron my coat right. Or microwave my dinners properly. Well, whatever, here’s the stuff that really needs to be fixed up or changed for the service to truly emerge unscathed.

Logitech K360 Wireless Keyboard Review

My keyboard broke today. Well, it didn’t break in the sense of cracking in half – at least not until after it stopped functioning and I threw it – but it did stop working properly.

Naturally, it’s hard to write articles and books without a functioning keyboard so I ran on down to the store and picked up this little beauty; The Logitech K360 wireless.

The latest rumor is that it’s being announced October 4th and that it will be available to buy October 5th. Also now it may not even be an iPhone 5 but an iPhone 4S instead.

Springpad, Web App, Mobile App, Awesome

Springpad, Web App, Mobile App, Awesome
Finally, a note program that I like that works between my phone, my Mac, and my PC. Spring Pad is a cloud-based Web App that can do so much more than just take notes. You can create checklists, to-do items, have multiple notebooks with multiple types of notes and sync with your phone or tablet. On the computer your items are set up in an intuitive format with icon’s that tell you what is what and with an all inclusive icon for ‘All My Stuff.’ A fun feature of this web application is the ability to change the background to suit your style. The mobile app is very similar in its set up and seems to have no problem with syncing information. The only down fall to the mobile app is that the Board feature is not accessible, but this isn’t something that is detrimental to the performance or the functioning of the program, which will be discussed below.
