I dunno exactly how they'll work, with regards to needing a constant high speed internet connection. I would imagine Google ...

I thought I'd write a bit about these tablets since I was lucky enough to get one for free recently from RIM (the makers of BlackBerry devices).

For anyone that doesn't read my blog (which is everyone) you might have missed my post about RIM giving free PlayBook tablets to developers in an effort to get more apps published on App World (their app store). Since they're pretty much down the pecking order when it ...

With the first fire sale, they had to sell off all their devices. The problem was, they'd already committed to buying a lot of new part to build another batch. HP apparently tried to cancel this, but were contracted to buy them so they did.
