    When I bumped into ZeroChroma at CES, I didn’t think much about it. I see a lot of tablet cases with flash and sizzle and theirs were pretty unassuming. Nonetheless, I stopped to chat, and I’m very glad I did. ZeroChroma brings performance to the forefront with cases that adapt and swivel, allowing your iPad,…

    There is no doubt that tablets are hot right now. Unfortunately, they’re also pretty expensive.

    I’m only part-way through the show floor, but there are some pretty clear trends cropping up: 1. Connected. Everything is connected… share your pictures on your phone with your iPad or TV. Stream video from one device to another. Start a game/movie on one device and pick it up on another. Early efforts at this…

    It’s been pretty quiet around here, but it’s not for a lack of cool family tech. Nope. I’ve been prepping to bring you coverage from the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

    I love my iPad. It’s easy to travel with, it keeps my kids entertained, and my husband can watch movies on it. But when I’m away from my laptop, I miss having a keyboard. The touch screen is fine for using apps, writing quick messages, and playing games, but when I need to write a…

    I love it when I can buy quality products and help someone else in the process. This is one of those times. Ruckus Media is donating 100% of their net proceeds ($1.39) from the sale of every app in their collection to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital until November 28.

    If you took my advice awhile back, you’ve been happily playing The Creeps on your iPad or iPhone. You’ve probably finished all of the levels by now, so you’ll be glad to know that there’s a new set of Thanksgiving levels available for free.

    Apple fans had mixed feelings today for the announcement of the iPhone 4S. With a year and a half since the announcement of the iPhone 4, anticipation was high for the announcement of the iPhone 5. Instead, after 45 minutes of back-patting and product reviews, we got a phone that looks the same. Still, the…

    Android phones have traditionally been given a very high-tech profile. It makes sense, given the platform (and then name), but it does suggest that they are only for the most hardcore geeks. HTC seems to be looking to change that perception with the new HTC Rhyme. The distinctly feminine phone comes in plum and has…
