WILL IT BREAK YOUR GEEKY HEART?

Blendtec has caught my attention with their clever and upsetting marketing videos. In this heart-wrenching youtube commercial they blend an iPad to show the strength of the Blendtec blenders. Watching this video makes me really upset and wonder if they want me to test drive all pre-blended products for a year or two. Hey Blendtec, what about the new Mac Pro featuring the Intel Xeon Nehalem processor. Will it blend?

THE iPAD IS HERE

Apple's latest product, the iPad, has been revealed. The iPad is marketed primarily as a web browser and a media & ebook viewer. It looks like a giant iPhone (magazine size) and weighs roughly 1.5 pounds. Sweet!

David Coursey has a great article on PCWorld listing 6 pros and cons to the iPad. Dena Cassella has an interesting piece on Digital Trends about the new device too.

THE WORLD IS APP CRAZY

Apps are big business. From gas calculators to dorky light sabers (complete with sound effects) there's an app for practically everything and everyone.

Apple, Palm, and Google have all staked a claim in the lucrative mobile application business, but what about Microsoft?

In addition to developing an upcoming mobile application store, a recent case study on the icrosoft Developer Network website details the process of running a complex iPhone app onto the Windows Mobile platform.

BLACKBERRY WANTS A PIECE

Back in November I wrote a post entitled "Mac Vs. PC: The Battle Rages On." Judging by their latest ad for the Storm, Blackberry wants in on the action. Guava NYC, a New York based studio specializing in post-production visual effects and 2D and 3D animation, is responsible for this well-done promo.

This ad was brought to my attention by one of my readers who happens to work for Research in Motion. RIM is a Canadian wireless communications company best known for the
.....yup, you got it
Blackberry.

Despite the awesome visuals, the 15 second ad may prove to be a touch optimistic since in a recent survey comparing the iPhone with the BlackBerry Storm Apple beat out RIM. I think we know which side of the fence this girl still stands on (Sorry, Earl).
