Toshiba’s Thrive Tablet
So we finally received our final demo tablet, the Thrive by Toshiba. Pretty slick as well as the other Honeycomb tablets. Has some pretty neat features as well, like the ‘ribbed’ rubbery back that helps it not to slip out of your hand. This would probably eliminate the need for a case, although they do [...]

Spotify
Yup, Spotify, Europe’s worst kept secret finally made its way across the Puddle. I just requested and received an invite through Coca-Cola.
