iPhone 4S reviews start rolling in
By Luis Estrada: On Tuesday evening, various media outlets began publishing their official iPhone 4S reviews. This short of it? This phone is poised to be a monster. Some of the more noteworthy excerpts are below: The New York Times: Speech recognition. Crazy good, transformative, category-redefining speech recognition… Apple won’t admit that it’s using a [...]

Our invitation to Apple’s iPhone event this past week must have gotten lost in the mail. But it’s all good, I’m sure Apple will hit us up next time. In the meantime, some of the lucky outlets that did get an invite to Apple’s town hall meeting began publishing some of their initial impressions of [...]

Here’s an entertaining, albeit pointless, video for you guys. YouTube user AlexKrasny did a video review of OS X Lion and let’s just say he’s less than impressed. But what makes this video so ridiculous is that this guy gets inexplicably mad and frustrated at every new change in OS X. Indeed, he thinks OS [...]

Tuesday, March 15, 2011
Consumer Reports writes: One major difference in tech specs is that the iPad 2 has a new processor that’s supposed to make it far speedier than the original,” Fox reports. “While performing routine tasks such as Web browsing and e-mail in our tests, we didn’t notice any significant speed improvement.” You know, it’s hard to [...]

TechCrunch: Yesterday, I made a 45-minute phone call from my office. This seemingly unremarkable statement is remarkable for two reasons. First, I was able to place a call from my office — something which was impossible for me to do a week prior. Second, I made it through the entire 45-minutes without the call being [...]

Engadget’s take on Microsoft’s last gasp effort to remain relevant in the smartphone game. In our original preview, we said that Windows Phone 7 didn’t quite feel like a complete smartphone OS yet.

An in-depth Apple TV review, per usual, from Engadget’s Joshua Topolsky. Putting content concerns aside (which admittedly is difficult to do), the Apple TV has a lot going for it. The video and audio quality of the Apple TV is to be lauded, the company is making a lot of high quality titles available right off [...]

Walt Mossberg got a review unit? Shocking. I’ve been testing the iPhone 4 for more than a week. In both hardware and software, it is a major leap over its already-excellent predecessor, the iPhone 3GS. Former Macworld Desktop Critic and now NY Times Tech Columnist David Pogue is a fan. Apple releases only one new [...]

As the iPhone 4 reviews start rolling in, here’s Boing Boing’s take on Apple’s next-gen iPhone. Regarding the build quality: The iPhone 4 face and back side are made from “aluminosilcate glass,” which Apple says has been “chemically strengthened to be 30 times harder than plastic.” Fighting instinct (my… precious!)I banged it on the side [...]

Engadget’s review of the iPad – as usual, it’s detailed, informative, and doesn’t pull any punches. Well done Mr. Topolsky. Especially impressive were their thoughts on Apple’s iBooks app: To say Apple is about to put a major dent in Kindleworld is an understatement. The iBooks app is one of the most beautiful and thoughtful [...]
