OnLive’s been trying to break into the video game market for over a year now. The company has a different approach to gaming that lets you play games on any computer regardless of the specs. The cloud service achieves this feat by offloading all the heavy processing to a remote server. The company wants to…
A recent survey conducted by IT security expert Avira revealed that 60 percent of consumers want a tablet or smartphone for the holidays. When people were asked the question “What new IT gadget would you like for the holidays?” 30 percent said a tablet and 28 percent said a smartphone.

Mobile trip organizing app/service TripIt is conquering yet another device – Kindle Fire. Yep that means the application is available from the Amazon Appstore and as usual it’s available in two flavors – one ad-supported and the other one with no ads whatsoever. Apparently TripIt users dig Amazon’s Kindle, with some 40% of them owning…
Archos unveiled an updated version of its 10-inch 101 G9 Android Honeycomb tablet simply called 101 G9 TURBO. That “TURBO” stands for additional 200MHz in CPU speed and 8GB more of built-in storage — the predecessor rocks a dual-core 1GHz processor and 8GB of storage, while this new model comes with slightly faster 1.2GHz CPU…

The company left the following…
Already approved by the FCC, Acer Iconia Tab A200 has been officially announced as a tablet that “comes at a very affordable price”, though unfortunately we don’t know just how affordable that price is.
