The ATV2 typically runs for $100, but Amazon has the device going for $89.99. And it seems like there could be more to the markdown than just a holiday sale, as the retailer has re-branded the ATV2 as a 2010 model...
For years we've talked about the possibility of a lower cost "iPhone Nano" to compliment Apple's flagship handset. It was argued that the cheaper device would help the Cupertino company address the low-end market, and make inroads with prepaid customers.
Although the rumored Nano wasn't announced at Apple's iPhone event last month, Tim Cook's team did introduce two low-cost handsets: the $99 8GB iPhone 4, and the free iPhone 3GS. The company now covers nearly every smartphone price point possible...
The consumer cloud storage market is getting pretty crowded. There's SugarSync, Amazon's CloudDrive, and the ever-popular Dropbox. Not to mention that one of the biggest names in tech, Apple, just joined the game with iCloud.
But that's not going to keep new-comer Pogoplug from trying its hand at cloud services. The company just announced that Pogoplug Cloud is now live for all of your online storage needs. And like its iCloud counterpart, new users get 5GB of free storage...
There has been one constant among the onslaught of Kindle Fire reviews we've seen over the last few days (it launches today): iPad comparisons. Amazon's new slate has been, and continues to be, constantly compared to Apple's iPad.
As typical with head-to-head match-ups, reviewers have broken out the spec sheets to see how each device measures up. But do specs even really matter anymore? Several tech writers have been asking this lately, and they've been making some valid points...
With Amazon's Kindle Fire just a day away from public release, there's no shortage of news regarding the new tablet. Not only does it undercut the cost of most slate offerings by $300, it's also the first Android tablet to feature a truly cohesive user experience.

Ever since Tim Cook and company committed to a $37 billion dollar 4th quarter, analysts have been watching Apple's every move. The forecast is nearly $10 billion dollars above its previous quarter's revenue, which was an all-time record for the iPhone-makers.
Getting to $37 billion this quarter isn't going to be easy, even with the holidays coming up. Apple will have to sell a lot of iPhones and iPads to hit the mark. And this could prove to be extremely difficult, considering some folks believe demand for Apple's tablet is fading...
Last month we reported on Apple's latest iteration of its extended warranty service, AppleCare+. The plan differs from previous versions of AppleCare because not only does it extend your device's warranty, but it also adds low-cost coverage for accidental damage.

Ever since Apple unveiled Siri last month, hackers have been hard at work trying to free the technology from the company's iron grip. Like most things in iOS, the digital assistant's abilities are limited in order to maintain security and stability on the platform.
But, as with jailbreaking, hackers have the power to loosen Apple's grip, and they are. The folks over at Applidium have reached a major milestone with the iPhone 4S-exclusive feature. They've apparently cracked Siri's security protocol...
Third-party applications have turned smartphones into digital Swiss Army knives over the last few years. It seems like there are apps for everything these days, that do anything from helping you become a better lover, to improving your golf game.
Apparently, there is even software for your iPhone that can help alleviate your headaches. These apps omit audible tones that supposedly synchronize your brainwaves to deeply relaxing low-frequency waves. It sounds impressive, but does it work?
With the holidays just around the corner, expect to start seeing an onslaught of iPhone accessories. Apple is entering the 4th quarter of 2011 with more handsets on more carriers than ever before, and manufacturers are looking to cash in.
One of the more popular iPhone accessories we've been seeing as of late is the wallet-case combo. We've seen offerings from TwelveSouth and Waterfield Designs, and now we have one from the popular laptop bag-maker, Timbuk2...
Last week, Adobe announced that it was going to be discontinuing its work on its mobile Flash player. The news wasn't that surprising, but it seemed to catch a lot of folks off-guard. There was even some confusion regarding the company's decision to end the project.
