Google+, the new social network

We’ve seen them come and go… Blackplanet, Myspace and who knows how much longer Facebook has.  Google is already planning its reign as top dog in this arena with its upcoming Google+.  So you’re probably wondering what makes it different.  It does have a few cool features, most notably for me is “Instant Upload”.  Whenever you take a pic one yor phone or mobile device, it will automatically go from your phone to your Google+ account.  Then all you have to do is decide whether or not you want to share it.   You can also group your friend together so only relevant people are privy to certain convos (but I’m sure Facebook will incorporate these features pretty soon as well).   (more…)

Acer Iconia dual screen tablet now available for pre-sale

In order to survive as a tech company today, you have to remain on the cutting edge.  I’d have to say the Acer Iconia ($1,199.00), fits the bill.  It’s a double screened, hinged tablet that’s jam packed with apps and gadgets.   It can be configured either as two seperate screens, one large screen , or a screen and a vertual keyboard.  It’s also powered by an Intel i5 cpu witch will give it enough power to handle business app.  Think of it Nintendo DS’s more articulate and mature big brother.

The tablets also compete well with functionality and their smaller size means some can be slipped into a large pocket and be carried very easily. The memory capacity of a laptop is comparable to that of a personal computer with hard drives of up to 250GB but even some tablets are able to have this size of hard drive and are fully functional with either a Windows operating system and often running just the same software packages as other larger laptops and personal computers.
