The above video takes care to showcase all that the Tab 10.1 is made of, but can’t help casually flipping the finger at its direct competitor, the iPad 2.  Between gloating on its display handling cool games and its processing power taking care of business, the video shows a certain white tablet incapable of running a Flash application, and we all know what’s white, big and can’t run Flash right?

T-Mobile Sidekick 4G Review

Remember the Sidekick? Seems like only yesterday that if you were in high school and you had a Sidekick, you were cool. Seriously cool. You could text, email, take pictures, and chat on AIM (remember that AIM thing?) all at the same time.

HTC Hub for Windows Phone 7 Review / Walkthrough

HTC, in their constant need to differentiate their devices from others via custom software, probably weren’t terribly excited when Microsoft said that Windows Phone was not going to be able to be customized.
