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...
After a little bit of a delay, iTunes Match was released to the public today. iTunes Match is a service that's built into the latest version of iTunes. It lets you match, upload, and play music on a variety of different devices.
This is an extremely cool service that allows you to take your entire iTunes library with you on the go, even if you have a measly 8GB iPhone.
Unfortunately, we don't think that Apple has done a very good job explaining the full benefits of iTunes Match. For that reason, we've created this ultimate iTunes Match tutorial, FAQ, and video walkthrough...
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.
Because of that, the Kindle Fire now ranks as the top Android-based tablet among developers. But according to The Loop, Amazon's slate still has a ways to go before it reaches the programming popularity of Apple's iOS devices...
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.
According to Gizmodo, if you pre-ordered your iPhone 4S or 8GB iPhone 4, today is your last chance to grab AppleCare+ for your new handset. The news comes from the AppleCare+ website, which claims that November 14th is the deadline for customers that pre-ordered...

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...
Apple released iTunes Match today, and users can now access their entire music library in iCloud on any authenticated iDevice running iOS 5. On the iPhone and iPad, iTunes Match can be easily enabled in the device's Settings.
Once enabled, iTunes Match will allow you to download and start playing any uploaded track at any given time on multiple iDevices.
For over a year and half, the iPad has undoubtedly been the king of all tablets. With virtually no competition, it wasn't too hard for Apple's tablet to eat a large chunk of the market in a space where no one else seems to get it.
Enter Amazon and the Kindle Fire, a tablet running a version of Android completely tailored to Amazon's needs, so much so that it doesn't have anything to pinpoint it as an Android device but the OS name.
The Kindle Fire is officially launching tomorrow, and, as usual, a few tech gurus have had access to the tablet a few days before everyone else. The reviews are coming in, and it's not as pretty as you'd expect...

Alongside iTunes 10.5.1, Apple is finally releasing iTunes Match to the US public today after a two week delay. It's finally here...
It would appear that the prospect of a new iPhone being announced alongside a price drop for existing models didn't disuade purchasers from picking up an iPhone 4 or 3GS during Q3, with Apple's two older handsets continuing to rule the roost in the US.
New figures from NPD show that both the iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS continued to sell strongly during the third quarter, with the premium iPhone 4 sitting pretty above its cheaper brother and a host of Android-powered devices.
Despite Android outselling iOS as a platform, Apple's hardware is still proving to be the most favored by buyers, with HTC, Motorola, and Samsung taking the remaining places in the top 5 handsets by units sold...
