New column


We have been reviewing tablet computers and eBook readers for several months now and we decided to give them their own column starting this month. We’ll try to review at least one tablet or eBook reader each month so make sure you read every issue.

A year ago Netbooks were THE hot category. Prognosticators were predicting the pending demise of notebooks and the collapse of the computer world as a result. Today Netbooks are still available but no one is pushing them and new models are few and far between.

What happened? Two things happened, first notebooks were made smaller and lighter taking away much of the Netbooks advantages. Second, the Fruit Company brought out the iPad. They squeezed the Netbook from both ends and have done severe damage to the concept.
