Reviews of Apple’s iPad

by Alan on January 27, 2010

I’m still gathering all the information I can and reading my fair share of reports before I write my own review, so until then, here are some links to general reports.

Mashable:

TechCrunch:

CrunchGear:

Crackberry:

Gizmodo:

You can watch today’s entire press event here, as always. Like I said, I’m doing some reading on it. First impressions are that it is not a game changer in any way. I thought I’d want to buy this instantly, but now I don’t think I’ll make the effort to save the money. As hype dies down and I gather more facts, I’ll write a complete review here.

Stuck on video/mobile game material

January 23, 2010

I’ve been kind of a beat writer on the gaming industry for Digital Media Buzz for the past few months. My latest entry was posted last week, which touched on the constraints developers face when creating mobile games across various platforms.
My ride through the gaming industry started when I covered the Geekend conference in Savannah. [...]

But seriously, internet television’s Revision3 has written an open letter to Conan O’Brien offering him a job. Ryan Vance, the VP [...]

Conan in unique position

January 14, 2010

Much has been documented about the current riff in late night television between Conan O’Brien, Jay Leno and NBC. I’m not going to go into everything that has happened (honestly, if you don’t know, Google it).
Now, first and foremost, I’m a huge Conan fan (as you can tell by the corresponding image). I grew up watching [...]

Ask and I shall receive apparently

January 5, 2010

About that Foursquare BlackBerry app. Decent.
However, I wish I could fully utilize all of what Foursquare has to offer and completely join in on the fun. This means obviously that my city is not currently covered. Hopefully the service booms at some point to include everyone rather than having to be so selective.
I’m sure that’s [...]
