Can you read in the dark with a Kindle Touch light case?
Before Barnes & Noble debuted the Nook with GlowLight last week, I had already bought a Kindle Touch even though it didn't work in the dark. Now it does, thanks to the Amazon Kindle Touch lighted case. Does this solution work for e-ink? See for yourself. From: KevinCTofel Views: 136 7 ratings Time: 06:01 More in Entertainment

Phone or tablet? Galaxy Note is both!
A Samsung Galaxy Note review unit arrived this weekend; here's a brief look at the hardware. People are asking the wrong question about the Note, trying to classify it as a phone, a tablet or even a "phablet." I'll show you the right question to ask.

Wahoo Blue HR: using the Bluetooth 4.0 heart rate monitor
This year is shaping up to be a good one for health-related gadgets thanks to the new Bluetooth 4.0 specification and profiles. The $79 Wahoo Blue HR is among the first of these devices to take advantage of this low-powered wireless capability and I took it for a five mile test run. There's no need to charge the heart rate monitor because it runs on a fairly standard watch battery that should last for at least a year.

RIM is showing off BlackBerry 2.0 for the PlayBook so I got a quick video look. Native email is nice as are new social integrations and ported games.

During my CES show floor travels, I swung by Motorola's booth and see the Droid Razr Max. Why? Because battery technology hasn't changed much and Moto claims a 21 hour runtime for it's latest Android smartphone. But it's still only 8.99 millimeters in thickness!

CES Hands on: Samsung Note and Galaxy Tab 7.7 LTE
In between appointments at the Consumer Electronics Show I spent ten minutes getting my hands dirty with two of Samsung's newest devices. The 5.3-inch Galaxy Note and Galaxy Tab 7.7 LTE grabbed my attention so after a few minutes of using both, I took a few short video clips amongst the crowd.

Galaxy Nexus: hottest handset yet?
The Galaxy Nexus ordered from the UK flew through customs and just arrived. I haven't spent too much time with it, but the little time I've had with the first Android 4.0 smartphone has been most impressive. The best way to put the experience? Android has finally grown up.

Moblin v2.1 on a Netbook
Ive been playing a little with the latest Moblin release this afternoon and Im actually thinking of trying to run it full-time on a netbook. Theres a few holes yet, but it does offers me much of what Im looking for in a smartbook — a lightweight operating system and good browsing experience. My wireless broadband modem isnt working, nor is my sound or my Bluetooth, so theres a few gotchas just yet. The Bluetooth might be easily fixable in my netbook BIOS, but no sound on the Toshiba NB205 is a reported known bug. In this 11 minute video, I think youll see why Im walking away impressed. The user interface is intuitive, although it will take some getting used to, and the overall environment is fluid and snappy. Bear in mind that Im running a live image from a USB drive, so an actual installation should perform even better. Maybe its time to turn the Toshiba into a triple-booter: Windows XP, Windows 7 and Moblin! From: KevinCTofel Views: 17226 43 ratings Time: 10:54 More in Science & Technology
