  • You’ve read correctly folks, the famed OS X addition Lion is coming tomorrow to the Mac App Store for the thoughtfully thought-out price of $30. The best way to see Mac OS X Lion is that of an addition. This is 10.7, not Mac OS 11. This new OS builds on top of the success of the Macintosh operating system by adding great new features such as new multi-touch gestures, Mission Control for controlling and previewing all your open applications, Launchpad, for finding and launching all the applications on your Mac, full-screen applications for easier viewing of the media in the app, Resume for opening an app right where you left off...

  • If you ordered a Dell Venue Pro, their is a strong chance that you will not see your device until early “2011″. It appears that Dell is having both hardware and software problems and manufacturing is not going so swell either. This is kind of sad because this phone look very promising, of all the Windows Phone 7 devices, this is the one I would pick. A rep form the Dell community forums is saying that some devices may still ship on the 18th as planned, but you may or may not need another hardware swap to fix the problems with the device. These problems include Wifi not working and...

  • Dell showed off it’s Venue Pro a few months back, and last month even put a very small number of them out at Microsoft Retail stores. Now Dell is getting ready to ship full scale on December 9th. Lets recap what this Venue Pro has. Dell’s Venue Pro is a 4.1 inch, WVGA AMOLED screen that has a surprising portrait sliding keyboard. The Venue Pro comes in two models, an 8GB and a 16GB and is powered by Windows Phone 7. This is perhaps the best deal out side of something you would find on Black Friday. You can pick up a Venue Pro for $99 (8GB) or $149 (16GB)...

  • Well, well, what might we have here. 11.6 inch MacBook Air, 2011 MacBook Pro refresh, VZW iPhone? I have no idea, but I do have a lot of speculation, like maybe OS XI Lion. From the image it certainly looks like Apple is ready to show off their next version of Mac OS X and possibly a few other things, though with a name like “Back to the Mac” we really should only expect to see Jobs show off some new OS and possibly the 2011 or holiday refresh of their computer line. When they do show off OS XI or 10.7 or whatever they call the thing we can...

The 2goPad is a 10 inch, Intel Atom N450 powered slate computer (tablet) running Windows 7 Home Premium. Storing all of your precious files and media is a (relatively) massive 250GB hard drive.
