But then, this unique device is designed for a select group of people who are into serious music. It may just appeal to more serious audiophiles who take music quality more seriously than what conventional devices may offer. The Hifiman HM-801 may ju... [Read More]

March 11, 2010 6:11pm

Toshiba is proud to announce that they will be introducing a whole line of tablet computers —not just one like what Apple and HP will do—by the end of 2010 or early 2011. Although they are set to become aggressive in the slate category, their spokesperson admitted that even they underestimated the market for tablet computers.

March 11, 2010 5:09pm
