Apple iPad

I paired an Apple iPad with a Sony PlayStation 3 and was able to stream YouTube videos in a matter of minutes. How were the results? Read on to find out.

We recommend the iPad version (4.5 out of 5 stars) of Next Issue. Not only will you get a larger selection of magazines, you'll also get faster downloads and smoother overall performance.

Ironically, because Google loses money on the Nexus 7, shipping less of them actually has a positive impact on profitability.

Bezos took the wraps off Amazon's iPad killer, the 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD. The larger tablet features a high-resolution 1920x1200 display, in-plane switching (254 pixels per inch), dual speakers featuring Dolby Digital Plus.

Given Apple's tremendous success with the iPad, its foray into the 7-inch space now dominated by Android (Kindle Fire, Nexus 7) should be cause for concern among the competition.

If the rumors come true (and these days the grapevine has been overwhelmingly accurate), Apple will be finally attempting to deliver a non-patent blow to Samsung.

The business model is ripe for the plucking. Think Groupon circa 2009, before that became an explosive category with over 500 copy-cats worldwide.

Late last year I predicted the Amazon tablet would sell like hot cakes and become that season's Cabbage Patch doll. While I wasn't spot on with my timing, the Kindle Fire is selling extremely well.

Both of these products brought me one step closer to reconsidering the wisdom of keeping my tools unprotected.

There's really no surprise, and I'll just go ahead and state it right up front: the Asus Transformer Prime is the best Android tablet currently available.
