Figures like this never cease to amaze me. According to ad network and data analytics firm Chitika, Apple’s iPad accounts for 94.64 percent of all tablet Web traffic. The second closest, Samsung’s Galaxy Tab, represented only 1.22 percent. That’s like going to a buffet but only eating a bread crumb. Way to eat all the

Microsoft: OnLive Desktop Violates Licensing Terms
The great thing about OnLive Desktop is, in essence, it offers a virtual Windows 7 and Microsoft Office experience in a tablet form factor.

Thoughts on Why There is No Widescreen iPad
The iPad has generated a lot of fans. Perhaps coincidentally, many of those fans reside on the boards of other companies. Since its inception it has been copied ad nauseum. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing as that’s how innovation becomes mainstream. However, I think that for all the competition has tried, they have
U.S. Air Force Considering Huge iPad 2 Purchase For Pilots

Super Sleek Toshiba Tablet to Show Its Face at IFA
Toshiba’s attempts at shaking up the tablet market have all been pretty feeble so far. First there was the Folio, an affordable 10-inch device that nobody wanted despite its tiny price tag; and then there was the Thrive, another Android tablet that offered a plethora of connections and a body (nearly) as big as your
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Won’t Hit Australia Until Late September

The HTC Flyer tablet is possibly one of the best Android alternatives to the Apple iPad — right up there with the Samsung Galaxy Tab.

An Android Tablet (Finally) Gets Hulu Plus
For a lot of people, Hulu Plus is like a necessary evil. No, you don’t get quite the same content through the mobile app that you would online, and your $7.99 per month for shows and movies still comes with ads. But it’s still at the top of the heap for streaming current content to
Court Bans All Samsung Galaxy Smartphone Sales Across Europe
