According to Cult of mac the iPad is the most important product of the debate.

[From Eric Mann] According to Cult of mac the iPad is the most important product of the debate. "Incredible technology products have emerged in the last 10 years, from Web 2.0 sites to Twitter, GPS-enabled smart phones to cheap pocket video recorders. On New Year’s Day, 2001, blogs were still largely unknown to the public. RIM had yet to launch the BlackBerry, and Palm hadn’t yet announced its Treo. Blu-Ray was still several years in the future. Google hadn’t even started working on Gmail. A 3.1 megapixel camera cost $700. Almost nobody had heard of social networking. There’s no question that technology has completely changed our world in the past ten years. But if I had to pick one product that was more impactful and more culture-changing – in other words, the most important technology product of the decade, it would have to be the Apple iPad."

Looking forward to the Palm Pre 2 on Verizon?

Looking forward to the Palm Pre 2 on Verizon? "Fast forward to today and, well, we think we can safely say that the Palm Pre 2 won't be released in 2010. As for 2011, we tend to believe Palm's confirmation if only because an anonymous tipster sent in the above scan from Best Buy's inventory system. The Verizon Palm Pre has popped up there with a price of $499 attached (nevermind the 12-30-2010 date on the image)." Read in full.

HanDBase Review

I was lucky enough to get my hands on a copy of HanDBase, a great database handling client for Palm, Symbian, RIM, Android and iOS, including iPad.

There are two parts to it - a desktop client (for both Mac and Windows) and the mobile component. The idea is that you can create/edit databases on your device and sync them between both your mobile device and the computer; this is great for small businesses or even just for personal use.

I was able to get setup in minutes, downloaded the desktop client and installed the Android app, there are many great templates available for download from the community too - things like the equivalent of an address book, it could even be a database of your customers. The possibilities are endless really, it stops at the end of your creativity.

Now, I'm not too clever with databases but I found it really easy to create my own database from a template and started using it in minutes. The interface of the Mac and Android client is clean and easy to understand, there are no unnecessary buttons or functions either. You could even use the databases to store passwords, a shopping list and invoices.

As I'm typing this I'm currently filling out a template with my shopping list - that'll come in handy when I go out to the sales tomorrow. There are buttons, which act like tick boxes to allow you to tick off the items you've purchased (which removes them from the list).

To sync the databases between your device and your computer, it's really simple, you plug in your device in via USB, set it up once and you're ready to sync the databases back and forth endlessly, syncing it each time you update it.

As I said before, I'm not really too great with databases really, but the support on the HanDBase website was really helpful for me, it helped me a great deal as I was going through the process of making my database.

HanDBase is a great mobile data solution and has many different areas that it can be used in - whether you run a small business or just want to keep organised then HanDBase is just the one. There are many different platforms and 'spec' of application that you can get from HanDBase, starting at $24.99 - head on over to DDHSoftware for more information.

James Kendrick tests out the Gingerbread Music app

There is an early build of the Gingerbread Music app made available for download and James Kendrick gave it a test. "I jumped right on it and it blows me away how beautiful it is on the Tab and how fluid it runs. What is especially sweet is how it responds to the accelerometer and the library tilts with the device. It may not be perfect as it’s an early build but give it a try if you want to see where Android is headed with Gingerbread." Read in full.
