With only a seven inch screen this will be difficult to use for any extended period of time. However at the price point of $149.00 this may be a solution for some. It is less than the iPad and the ExoPC is projected to be. However this device is still an Android solution which once again makes install programs like it is a computer not possible. This unit is packed with 2 GB of storage, 256 MB of Ram, and a Micro Secure Digital slot which it can be up to 16 GB. This being said some of you may only need you Google docs and Gmail. If so find your nearest Kmart and call to see if they have any on hand.

Just so you can not say that the only tablet we are talking about is the ExoPC, which we think will be better then this one, we are posting this article from engadget. It seems to be a good looking tablet but is coming with the Android OS. Which means it will be limited on the software that you can install. At least it will be released in the not too distant future which is good. Read more about this tablet here.

Little did you know that if you were one of the people that jail broke your iPhone Apple wanted the right to sue you for doing so. This historical win for the EFF grants the right to the user of any smartphone to make use of the software as you see fit, including bypassing any protections put into place by the manufacturer. These were previously protected under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, but are now firmly in the “fair-use” category. However this change does not protect the rights of the people or companies that write the jail broken software. To read the full article click the picture below.

Google has launched a counter offensive against the Apple’s strangle hold on the mobile development world. Google is now pushing their open platform with the hopes that everyday regular users will develop applications for their platform. The tool was recently made public, which looks appealing and simple to use, is targeting individuals with little to no programming experience. This is all done with the hopes that this will help to narrow the gap between the number of applications that is offered on the Android marketplace and how many are available for the iPhone. Today Apple has over 225,000 different applications and Android is 100,000. To read a full report click the link below:
