The rumor mill has been churning for quite some time now over a tablet from RIM. According to Betanews a close nit insider confirmed all the speculation.
From all indications the Blackberry tablet (if we may call it that) will be a 7″ device with a 1GHz Marvell Processor that has two cameras for video conferencing and will support Adobe Flash.
With the large market share Blackberry owns in the business sector a Blackberry tablet could gain a lot of steam fast. iPad may be the biggest game in town right now, but a tablet for the business class could trump Apple. (no pun intended)

Amazon has dropped the price on their amazingly popular e-reader, Kindle, to $189.00 from $259.00. For those not familiar with Kindle, basically it is a portable reader that you can download books and periodicals in 60 seconds from just about anywhere thanks to the 3G wireless connectivity. No worries because there are still no fees for the 3G service.

TomTom is rolling out the XL 350 and XXL 550 series in late May. They’ll come with the latest maps, include TomTom’s new EasyMenu user interface and TomTom’s proprietary IQ Routes™ Technology and TomTom Map Share™.
If you travel much, a GPS is a must have. They take the thought and guess work out of the process and you know this if you have one already. My experience with TomTom has been great in the past with only a few misdirected routes and those were very rural areas or because I needed to update.
The new X 50 series are reasonbaly priced at $169 for the XL 350 4.3”, and $199 for the XXL 550 5.0”. Lifetime Maps and Lifetime Traffic Updates are each available for an additional $30.
Check availability at Amazon. [click to continue…]

RipCode’s new TransAct Transcoder V6 can intercept content requests from an iPad and use its transcoding appliance to re-encode Flash content into a video format accepted by the iPad. It works with video files from QVGA to 1080p.
I don’t understand how this stuff works, but it really would be nice to avoid all the Flash errors on the iPad. So, get on it content owners and make the Internet more iPad friendly.
More details about RipCode in the press release below. [click to continue…]
