Farmville on Your iPhone, iPad and More...

, In , , ,

Great news for all of you amateur, online farmers.  In other words, those I loathe.  FarmVille is coming to your mobile device, be it iPhone, iPad or Android. 

At present there are more than 80 million amateur farmers (expert losers) playing the popular Facebook game.  Now hopefully all of you will move your digital manure shoveling from the site of the social media giant and on to the more intimate setting of your mobile phone.

Best Buy Adds Nook to its E-Reader Offerings

, In , , ,


Barnes & Noble's awesome? Nook e-reader can now be had at Best Buy starting April 18.  Hooray? 

At a cost of $259.99, the Nook may just be the colorful e-reader for you.  Or not. 

Up until this news, the Nook has been hard to come by, but with their pending availability at Best Buy, perhaps greater adoption of the device by those in love with Barnes & Noble and/or reading may be in the offing. Not likely.  Best Buy also sells the iPad, and if you walked up to a display for each, which would you choose, the iPad or the Nook?  As an owner of both the Kindle and iPad, I prefer the Kindle for reading, perhaps I am getting old, but too much reading on the iPad's awesome screen hurts my eyes, I am not,  nor will I ever be, in the market for a Nook.  Will you?

HP Slate vs Apple iPad

, In , , ,



The HP Slate may or may not be an iPad killer.  From reviews of what each device has to offer, it appears each has their pros and cons and aim for entirely different target markets.   Seemingly the Slate can do more at a lower price, while being larger, heavier and with half of the Apple iPad's battery capacity.  I am a fan of Apple and have one iPad with another on the way.  Will I get a Slate? No, but many will.  And like with everything else, to each his/her own.

Apple iPad launch day sales strong to quite strong...

, In , ,



To say that people went a little crazy of the iPad's launch yesterday is an understatement.  According to The Loop has released a report estimating first-day iPad sales in the range of 600,000-700,000, well  pre-launch estimates of 200,000-300,000.

Piper Jaffray Senior Research Analyst, Gene Munster, on Saturday said he believes Apple sold between 600-700 thousand iPads on the first day. This includes the pre-orders that would have been coming in since March 12.

Might the iPad outsell the original iPhone over the initial few months of sales?  Note: the iPhone took 74 days to reach one million units sold.  Will the iPad beat that?  It appears so.

The launch was also limited to Wi-Fi models (we received one) and to the United States. 3G-capable models (we are waiting on one) in the U.S. will launch later this month with high sales expected.
