It's characterized as the first rugged convertible tablet to use capacitive multi-touch and is seen as ideal for use outdoors or at work where natural gestures, such as pinching to zoom into a map or flicking to scroll through a page, are more preferable to a pen. It nonetheless still works with a stylus and has a more ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/27/dell.intros.first.multi.touch.rugged.tablet/ Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/29/ten.apple.tablet.details/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0909/iphone3gs-2sm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Apple's heavily rumored media tablet has received added details today through a leak from a historically accurate source.

The computer will be sold on a two-year data contract, and like the first Verizon-subsidized netbook, the HP Mini 1151NR, will use Qualcomm's Gobi data modem to access Verizon's 3G data network. Otherwise, ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/28/verizon.to.offer.subsidized.gateway.netbook.soon/ Mon, 28 Sep 2009 20:15:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/23/irex.dr.300sg.reader.official/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0909/irexdr300sg.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />iRex today branched out to the US for the first time with its first e-book device intended specifically for the US.

While it's typical for Apple to have drivers for certain 3rd-party 3G adapters with the OS, AppleInsider shows a WWAN (wireless wide-area network) entry in System Profiler, which typically shows only the hardware that Apple includes with systems itself. The move implies that Apple plans to make 3G ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/07/apple.3g.in.snow.leopard/ Thu, 07 May 2009 19:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/16/motion.computing.tablet.pc/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0903/motiontablet.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Motion Computing on Monday announced the availability of its rugged tablet PC, the 12.1-inch J3400. To earn the rugged label, the J3400 is IP-52 rated and meets MIL-STD-810F specifications, that mean it can shake off a 3-foot drop onto plywood over concrete as well as lesser shocks; it further resists the damaging effects of dust and moisture. The drop protection is achieved by the use of a shock-... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/16/motion.computing.tablet.pc/ Mon, 16 Mar 2009 13:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/02/16/sony.vaios.get.gobi.tech/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0902/sonyvaiop.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />At Mobile World Congress on Monday, Sony and Qualcomm announced that the former's VAIO notebooks will be the first to feature the latter's Global Mobile Internet Technology (Gobi), letting the PCs access 3G mobile broadband networks regardless of type.
