Just off the wires, Apple is more than doubling its capital returns citing its inability to stop making more money than it can spend to “operate the business, invest in our future, and maintain flexibility to take advantage of strategic opportunities.” As part of this program, Apple’s board has increased its share repurchase authorization to […]
We were on hand in NYC today to watch the unveil of the iPhone on T-Mobile and its new LTE/plans which purport to save T-Mobile customers lots of money over its US competitors. T-Mobile tipped us to their grand plan to become the ‘Uncarrier’ at CES in January. The idea is to radically simplify the […]
It’s an interesting evening for Maps on iOS. First up, Google released a rudimentary iOS Google Maps video which feels circa 2007 including all of the gestures that made Steve Jobs go Thermonuclear on Android. We’re not sure who the intended audience is here but this was just released. Maybe it is just for the people […]

I’ve seen these little devices that shoot out a virtual keyboard a few times before but this was the first time that I’ve ever used on first hand.

We first talked lovingly about Sharp’s amazing 32-inch 3,840-by-2,160-pixel display in November, but now that we’ve gone hands-on, we got a full-on crush.
