Tablet PC Magazine: HTC Flyer
http://www.pencomputing.com/reviews/htc_flyer.html
HTC's initial tablet feels like a large phone,. But offers some interesting innovations. During a convoluted set of speaking engagements and family travel, my HTC Flyer met me just across the Washington border as my wife Janet and I merged our itineraries near the Portland, Oregon International Airport for the final leg of a speaking tour that turned into the trip to retrieve my freshman daughter Alyssa from the University of Oregon. The Pen is Mightier Than the Finger, Sort Of. In some ways, this discon...

Pen Computing Magazine: the Apple iPhone 3GS after three months
http://www.pencomputing.com/reviews/apple_iphone_3gs_update.html
Having used it for three months,. How much better is the iPhone 3GS? By Conrad H. Blickenstorfer. Sure, low cost is nice, but no one can tell me it takes a two year contract to "subsidize" a cheap little phone when I can buy an unsubsidized big screen TV or fancy notebook computer for a few hundred dollars. Anyway, that's all beside the point. What I want to write about is my experiences with the iPhone 3GS. It it really that good? Did it live up to the hype? The answer is yes and no. And here is why.

Pen Computing Magazine: Samsung Galaxy Tab
http://www.pencomputing.com/reviews/samsung_galaxy_tab.html
Sprint Samsung Galaxy Tab. What can you expect from the iPad's first real competitor? By Conrad H. Blickenstorfer. What makes the Samsung Galaxy Tab so relevant? There are several reasons. Not having a big Wintel history undoubtedly helped Samsung boldy march ahead and release its first tablet with Android. Third, Samsung has an actual, high-volume tablet when everyone else is still just talking about it. And the Galaxy Tab is not just one of those second tier trial balloons. It's a real, honest-...Proac...

Pen Computing Magazine: Review of the US$149 ECTACO jetBook-Lite eBook reader
http://www.pencomputing.com/reviews/20091218_ectaco_jetbook_lite.html
Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1. With premium eBook readers still being expensive,. ECTACO offers a less costly alternative with the jetBook-Lite. This is a review of the jetBook-Lite. What are some of the eBook caveats? Why haven't they taken over yet? EBook reader pricing is a bit of a mystery to me as I'd expect the readers would be priced using the same model that's used for cellphones: you get the cellphone at a heavily subsidized price in return for signing a contract with the phone company. That model...

Dread the Droid, iPhone! I really don't want to waste a lot of time in a review of the new Verizon Motorola Droid comparing it to the iPhone.

Tablet PC Magazine: Acer Iconia Tab A500
http://www.pencomputing.com/reviews/acer_iconia_tab_a500.html
Acer Iconia Tab A500. Low cost, second tier device from a well-respected vendor with experience in the tablet business. It may seem a little strange to be writing a review of a shipping tablet just as CES 2012 hits the shutdown button. But unlike much of the gear touted in blogs, endless television coverage and various radio shows, the Acer Iconia Tab A500 is. Shipping, and at a reasonable price. At 17 pounds and over a half-inch thick, the Iconia Tab is a little thick and a little heavy, but not unmanag...
