Palm Arena

So Apple released the very first iPad commercial and it aired it during last nights Oscars. Check it out below.

There isn’t much that can be said for this video except epic awesome. Yeah I know this is a tech blog, but this version is too damn awesome to pass up. Check it out below.

What’s hotter than Android, Devour and of course the Super Bowl game itself? Megan Fox of course! Check out her Super Bowl XLIV ad below…

Granted it’s a proof of concept, however that doesn’t mean that the interface is like totally awesome (and useless we might add). The Gesture Cube incorporates gesture sensors that will interpret hands movements in order to control the device. More importantly, it has four different sides (as you can see from the video) and has some awesome effects.

Check out the video below for an idea of how this thing works.

According to Verizon, yesterdays’ ways are over, and it’s time to bring in something new. Having to deal with multiple dates on multiple calanders, I have to agree that the Pre does simplify this task. But go ahead and check out the video below if you disbelieve me.

No doubt you’ve heard about the Nexus One by Google. But have you seen one unboxed? In an effort to advertise the device, Google is handing out free Nexus One phones to it’s YouTube partners if they make a video advertising the device. Patrick Bolvin, the guy famous for his stop motion animation videos on YouTube decided to take up old Mountain View on their offer and came up with the video you see below. Check it out.

It’s been a year since Jon Rubinstein turned Palm around. And even though it’s not completely out of the woods financially, great things are happening. The entire CES keynote is available below for you to view and we have included a link to all the important news covered in the keynote. Enjoy.

Guess what folks, the previously announced support of Flash 10.1 on the webOS platform is materializing. Coming February in the form of webOS 1.4, true Flash 10.1 support will be flooding the App Catalog in the form of a beta plugin.

Palm went on to say that the inclusion of video recording on the Pre and Pixi will become official thanks to webOS 1.4 which will also be hitting the Pre and Pixi in February. You will also be able to edit videos directly on the device and upload them to YouTube, MMS, email and of course download them to your computer.

All these goodies will be arriving next month so stay tuned.

So HP has the Slate and MSI is also turning heads with it’s dual screen e-reader. First of all this is anything but an e-reader. The name is very misleading as this is more of a netbook with two screens (way more powerful then an e-reader). The device is 10 inches and is 100% multitouch (supporting 2 fingers).

What we have so far are prototype specs but we understand that this is coming sometime this year. Instead of running some Android or Linux flavor, this thing runs a full version of Windows 7 (Home Premium) and is powered by an Atom Z processor.

On screen keyboard is included that comes with haptic feedback and for now that is all we know. Check out the video below for more info courtesy of Engadget.

So there’s been rumors about an Apple Slate for years, but while we wait for that mythical January 27^th date to roll around, feast your eyes on the HP Slate. Yes it’s the year of slate PC’s and HP seems to have hit something here.

The device is multitouch, it supports gaming, and so far we know it runs some flavor of Windows 7. That’s all we know so far thanks to Microsoft’s press conference, but you can be sure we’ll be digging for more info at Microsoft’s and HP’s booth. No it won’t take the place of that mythical “Courier” device we laid our eyes on a few months ago and it sure won’t quench the Apple tablet rumors, but at least this looks sexy enough to buy.

More info coming as we find out more. BTW check out the promo video below.
