In case you haven’t perused any tech blog over the last month, Apple’s new iPad (3rd gen) is good. Really good. It should come as no surprise that Consumer Reports named the new iPad the best tablet on the market today. The report highlights the gorgeous 2,048 x 1,536 Retina display as the standout feature…
The One S is what you’d call the “middle of the road” in the new One line from HTC, but the handset is anything but mid-range. The handset packs a punch with its internal hardware, and demands attention with its simple and ultra thin profile. We recent got one of these bad boys sent to…
