The Kno is Not a Tablet.  It’s a Workout Device

The Kno is Not a Tablet. It’s a Workout Device

By Zoli Erdos on August 12, 2010

Seriously.  At 5 and a half pounds it’s not exactly a lightweight tablet you would want to hold for hours. I have a very simple test for you: if you have an average 14”-15” laptop around, flip it open, hold it vertically, just like this: … and tell me how long you could comfortably hold […]

Google FastFlip = FastFlop

By Zoli Erdos on September 15, 2009
