Motorola Cliq: First Smartphone with Social Skills

NerdBoyTV NOTE: Picked up this T-Mobile phone for my 12-year-old son, Brandon, who is VERY well-connected online. He loves the phone and I found this video review on YouTube to pass along to you. Good value and definitely a "fun" smartphone!

Ex-Googler Lee sees Apple tablet debut in January

By Jonathan Skillings / CNET News

"Sure, every blogger worth his salt has weighed in on the long-rumored Apple tablet that may or may not be--its possible size, shape, specs, debut date, and on and on. Now offering up a perspective on the matter is a high-profile tech industry executive, Kai-fu Lee, who until recently was the head of Google's China operations.

It seems that Lee, who's now working to foster entrepreneurship in China, wrote on his Chinese language blog earlier this week that Apple CEO Steve Jobs will be releasing a tablet PC in January, and expects to produce a voluminous 10 million in the first year, according to the IDG News Service and other media outlets.

The tablet, according to Lee's post, will have a 10.1-inch touch screen and will look like an oversize iPhone. Other features are said to include a virtual keyboard, 3D graphics, and support for videoconferencing and e-books. The price reportedly will be below $1,000."
