  • Samsung Continuum: Two displays not better than one

    When we first heard about the Samsung Continuum ($200 with a two-year contract from Verizon), we were equally skeptical and intrigued.

While we found the ticker display more useful than annoying, it still might not be for everyone -- and it can occasionally be a pain to use.

    Recently, after testing two MacBook Air models running Windows 7, we published results that showed the thin and light Apple laptops outperformed most Windows-based netbooks and ultraportable notebooks. Hundreds of readers commented on the article, with many of the comments going something like this: "The MacBook Air costs far more than many of the laptops you've compared it against.

    I use an iPhone 4. I upgraded to the iPhone 4 from an iPhone 3GS. However, prior to making the switch to the iPhone I relied on Windows Mobile smartphones for years. With all of the excitement generated by Windows Phone 7, though, I felt it was worth a deeper look, and perhaps it might be time to embrace the new Microsoft mobile platform.

  • Barnes & Noble NookColor

    In the early, heady days of e-readers, the term "e-reader" was synonymous with an electronic paper-based device.

Better yet, it has the potential to deliver far more as Barnes & Noble's library of periodicals and children's books grows.
