We’re in and waiting. I’ll try and update as we go along… 1341hrs now. It starts at 1400. Lets see how the Wifi holds up! MeetMobility co-podcasters next to me… Nicole Scooter (Netbooknews.com)  and me…. Joanna Stern of Engadget next to me. I’m honoured! View from outside. This is what we can expect today. Will be interesting to hear if Windows 7 Compat is to be used or if they went Android. 1353…still waiting. Journos at back of hall are scoffing all the sandwiches. Typical! 1400 and just as expected.

Days before CES officially kicks off Toshiba have announced their Honeycomb tablet offering, or at least demonstrated the hardware. Similar to Toshiba’s previous Android tablet, the Folio, it’s powered by the Tegra 2 platform however it has been given a much needed makeover with a higher resolution 1280 x 800 10.1” display, 5 megapixel rear camera and a 2 megapixel front facing camera which will be able to take advantage of the many Android video calling services and hopefully a Google GTalk video calling service by the time the tablet […]

I’ve arrived and I’m getting ready for the big event. Sitting here with JKKmobile and Galaxy Tabs in the casino it’s a big change from our Netbook-focused experience of last year. Neither of us have our netbooks with us and we just can’t stop talking about it! No doubt the netbooks will come out when the hard, hard work begins but for this casual moment, a tablet works! The first press events start tomorrow (4th) so stay tuned.

You have to love this time of the year, CES is starting and companies are providing all sorts of sneak peaks into what they have been working on to keep our gadget appetites suitably moistened. Opera haven’t disappointed with quick preview of a new version of their popular mobile browser designed specifically for tablets. Announced on the Opera blog, this new version appears to be tailored for the larger screens of tablets. Opera used the Samsung Galaxy Tab to preview the browser meaning an Android version is certain although I also […]

Its been a long time coming and anyone who has a new phone every year or eighteen months will know what its like to have many different chargers laying around just in case. Well if you live in Europe, you can say bye to a draw full of tangled mess and hello to the new standard micro-USB charger. The CEN-CENELEC and ETSI standards bodies announced on Wednesday through a press release that the new standard for phone chargers will be based on micro-USB; “Commission welcomes industry’s commitment to provide a […]

I was watching the film ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas’ the other night. It’s a strange story about a journalist and his journey to Las Vegas to report on a desert race. He gets somewhat distracted by drugs. As much as you might like to see reports of me running naked through the expo halls waving my ‘Tab’ and shouting “The Carrypads have landed. I told you they were coming.” that’s unlikely to happen here. My drug will be the hardware, software and technology going into the latest products […]

If you thought waiting for the latest Android update was the only issue your phone has, think again. A bug that was reported to Google last June that makes Android send SMS messages to the wrong recipient still appears to be impacting a vast number of users. When sending SMS the Android messaging client will appear to have sent the message to the intended recipient however the bug will cause the message to actually be sent to another contact. It seems that the bug may not directly be related to the sending […]
