Jon Q takes a look at an all-in-one beat machine app called, appropriately, iMaschine, made by the folks at Native Instruments. iMaschine has a built in drum machine, key pads, and vocal station, with loads of various high quality sound banks, effects, and more. But is it any good? Can you lay down beats, riffs,

We’ve been anticipating the release of the HTC Titan for quite some time, and at long last it’s in the TechnoBuffalo office. It wasn’t just the massive 4.7-inch screen, beautiful build quality or 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8255 processor that attracted us to the device; it’s Windows Phone that really made it stand out. Although the

When we got our hands-on the HTC Rezound earlier this month, we came away thoroughly impressed. It’s packed with a quick 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM, Verizon’s 4G LTE and an absolutely stunning 4.3-inch 720p display that gives the Retina variety on the iPhone a run for its money. Two weeks on, and we’re happy to report

Last week I posted my written review of Google TV and its newly minted Honeycomb (Android 3.1) update. This week I took out the video camera to do the review again. My conclusions are still basically the same now as they were last week, though a platform like GTV by its nature is a constantly

When Google announced the Galaxy Nexus I just knew it was going to be something special. The hardware (manufactured by Samsung) looked great, the specs read well and the fact that it was to be running Ice Cream Sandwich sent me dizzy with excitement. Further more, this mobile phone has the highest resolution screen on

Who would have thought that, just a month after the Samsung Galaxy S II hit AT&T, we’d see its younger brother come to the very same carrier? Seemingly out of nowhere, the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket came strolling into town, touting a1.5GHz dual-core processor, larger display and true 4G LTE. We’re not ashamed to

You’d think with the popularity of tablets being at an all time high, there’d hardly be room for e-readers. That’s an understandable assumption, but it doesn’t give enough credit to what a quality these devices offer. Amazon obviously feels the market is still bustling with activity, as the company currently offers three different e-ink devices

Despite Amazon’s decision to jump into the tablet foray, the company has made it clear it’s still very much invested in the e-reader game – Kindle, Kindle Touch and Kindle Keyboard. We brought you our impressions of the barebones fourth-generation Kindle, and now we’ve gotten our hands on the Kindle Touch. Starting at $99 for

Jon unboxed his earlier, and I took mine out for a spin just now: Barnes and Noble’s Nook Tablet is basically a successor to last year’s sleeper hit, Nook Color. Where Nook Color was sort of an e-reader on steroids and sort of a tablet, B&N says the new model is a tablet through and

Hiding in the shadow of Amazon’s Kindle Fire release, Barnes & Noble has unleashed its newest member of the Nook family hoping to get in on the tablet party. In comparison, hype for the Fire has been deafening since its announcement, while the Nook Tablet has merely made but a whimper. Still, that’s not to

Jon Q takes a look at a cloud based budgeting app and service called Toshl. Toshl modernizes and mobilizes your expenses and displays everything in an array of simplicity and style. But, can it really make that much of a difference in your spending? Find out in this episode of WTA! Check out the video and let

Google Music is finally out of beta, and free to all (if you live in the U.S.)!  The announcement event has wrapped up, and in case you missed our live coverage, we’ve still got you covered with a brief video recap of everything that was announced today. In short, you can take your music with

The Simpsons has famously thrown up a number of hilarious parodies over the years, my favorite being Lisa’s visit to the Mapple Store where there is a special announcement from Mapple founder Steve Mobs. The cartoon’s latest target is Rovio’s multimillion dollar Angry Birds franchise. In an upcoming episode, Bart, Lisa, and Homer visit E4,

Nokia is putting a lot on the line with the release of the Lumia 800. Running Windows Phone 7.5, the device is something Nokia’s CEO Stephen Elop hopes will revive the company’s reputation as one of the top phone manufacturers in the world. Now that it’s here, is it a step in the right direction?

To the average consumer, the Kindle Fire won’t be about specs. Of course, they certainly help when running apps or movies or books. Rather, much of the experience will be spent browsing through the software, getting around to different areas on the device. Amazon has gone to great lengths redesigning and re-skinning Google’s Android OS

At long last, the Kindle Fire has launched. Ever since its unveiling back in September, the device has been hyped up as true, honest to goodness competition for the iPad – and for good reason. Not only does it have Amazon’s robust ecosystem of music, movies and books going for it, but the device is

Jon R is back to tackle some more questions from viewers and fans. This week, he shares his thoughts about the recently released and Beats Audio loaded HTC Rezound. He also talks about the upcoming and highly anticipated next generation eBook tablets the Nook Tablet and the Kindle Fire. All this and more in this

The engineering brilliance behind the Droid Razr cannot be understated. Packed in just .28-inches of stainless steel and soft-touch Kevlar, the Razr manages to include some truly impressive specs into an amazingly thin frame. Like Motorola’s clamshell offering from yesteryear, the Droid Razr is an incredible feat of hardware design that should be the blueprints

Noah K tackles the biggest tech rumors of this week! Nokia’s Lumia 800 may be coming to AT&T with LTE support in tow. Nintendo may be close to adding multiple-tablet support to the next-gen WiiU. And Amazon just ordered another million Kindle Fires, but why did they snap up Yap, a voice-to-text company? LTE Lumia

We’ve already seen the HTC Rezound in action, and the Beats Audio integrated device was music to our ears. Now we’re getting a more intimate look at the burly phone, and you know what? We still think it’s a device that will turn more than a few heads. The HTC Rezound packs a punch with its snappy 1.5GHz

Jon Q takes a look at at some Photoshop companion applications for the iPad made by Adobe. Adobe has created the “Color Lava”, “Nav”, and “Eazel” apps to help enhance the experiences of graphic artists and amateurs alike. But… do they work? Find out in this episode of What’s The Apps! Check out the video and let

At what size does a phone become too big? That answer will obviously differ from person to person, but the popular consensus among handset makers, at least at the moment, seems to be bigger is better. Just direct your attention to the recent Galaxy S II Skyrocket, 4.5-inch; Droid Razr, 4.3-inch; and HTC Vivid, 4.5-inch. We’re

The T-Mobile SpringBoard is joining the diminutive tablet market amongst some stiff competition – Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, Kindle Fire, Nook Tablet. So how does this one plan to stand out? Immediately the most striking thing about the SpringBoard is its attractive and solid design. Think of the original iPad but scaled down to a 7-inch

The world’s thinnest smartphone is here. Sporting a svelte 7.1mm frame (the iPhone 4/iPhone 4S comes in at 9.3 mm), the Droid Razr has a lot riding on its shoulders. The clamshell Razr of yesteryear was once the reigning champ in the mobile market. Today, smartphones are king. Does the Droid Razr live up to its heritage?

Jon R is back to tackle some more questions from viewers and fans. This week, he discusses the rumor of Apple possibly discontinuing the supremely powerful and supremely expensive Mac Pro. Jon also shares his thoughts on tablets, Ultrabooks, as well as some tips for budgeting for your tech shopping needs – just in time
